About this Event
On 26th May, 1986, the body of an undercover Britsh agent was found by the side of a muddy lane, with a rope tied around its wrists and tape over each eye. Over a decade later, a man with inside knowledge decided to talk to the media about what happened that night. This started a search for the truth which revealed how a handful of British agents were able to infiltrate the Provisional IRA, at great personal cost.
Bestselling author Henry Hemming blends meticulously researched history with a modern-day investigation into crimes that were hidden away long ago, highlighting the bravery of the men who were crucial in ending the Troubles in Northern Ireland, the bloodiest and longest-running conflict in recent British history, and the determination of one detective in his dogged search for the truth.
Join Henry Hemming as he talks about Four Shots in the Night, the thrilling true story of the M**der of an undercover British agent, a web of secrets, lies and betrayals, and how it led to the largest M**der investigation in British history.
