A Thread of Violence

In A Thread of Violence, award-winning author Mark O'Connell delves into the chilling story of Malcolm Macarthur, a Dublin socialite whose desperate bid to maintain his lavish lifestyle led to a horrific crime spree in 1982. As Macarthur's plan to commit bank robbery spirals into the murder of two innocent civilians, the ensuing scandal shakes the very foundations of the Irish government. Through intense interviews and independent investigation, O'Connell explores the complex interplay between truth and narrative, offering a gripping and thought-provoking examination of violence and the stories we create around it.
