The Killing Anniversary

When I began to write the story of my father's life I thought it would be easy. I had access to his old business records, copies of letters, press clippings, all the material I needed. Not only that but I knew a great many of his friends. But then I discovered a side of his life which had been hidden from me. The more I delved the more I found out, until a kind of pattern emerged which linked his life to the lives of other people. I thought it was coincidence at first, but that theory died as more facts were unearthed. I spent months in London, New York, Dublin, Paris, Belfast, even Nairobi - always searching to uncover the tracks. The revelations astonished me. My father had been involved in a feud which stretched back to his boyhood - a feud which touched the lives of a great many people. It smouldered over the years - spluttered, died down and flared up again - but it never went out. It was always there, if not always apparent. It was forever the link between the Connors and the Averdales, the O'Brien's and the Riordan's - a link that endured relentlessly - until THE KILLING ANNIVERSARY.
