In a wood at night a young woman witnesses the murder of a whistleblower by a corrupt businessman, owner of a slaughterhouse. Paul Goodman, a would-be snooker champion working at the slaughterhouse, has never known his father and wrongly believes that he deserted him when young. But he is befriended by the one man who holds the key to the mystery of his father's disappearance, and the man responsible for his death. Critically acclaimed author Sam Millar weaves a compelling story in Redemption Factory — about the struggle to acknowledge a wrong, and about loyalty and corruption, life and death.

A man is murdered, an anarchist suspected by his own group of being a police informer, but the killer has his doubts. Years later, in a deserted wood, a corrupt businessman, Shank, silences a whistleblower, but the killing is witnessed and leads by way of a brutal interrogation back to the first murder and its consequences. Lurking sometimes at the edge of the action, sometimes at the center, is the deeply dysfunctional family of Shank and his two strange daughters, and their gruesome abattoir. Sam Millar weaves a compelling story about the struggle to acknowledge a wrong, about loyalty and corruption, life and death. And he brings to crime fiction the strengths that made On The Brinks such an exceptional memoir.

(A young boy discovers a bone in a snow-covered forest. In...)
A young boy discovers a bone in a snow-covered forest. Initially, Adrian Calvert thinks it could simple be that of an animal. But it belongs to a young girl who has been missing for three years. Adrian's father, Jack, and ex-detective who now works as a private investigator, has hidden a terrible secret from his son. Meanwhile, in a derelict orphanage, a tramp discovers a sexually mutilated and decapitated corpse. Jack's search for his son brings him into contact with a would-be avenging angel. This is a tense tale of gruesome discoveries and murders, of sexual abuse and revenge. It is a story, too, of the corruption at the heart of the respectable establishment.

In 1993, $7.4 million was stolen from the Brink's Armored Car Depot in Rochester, New York, the fifth largest robbery in US history. Sam Millar was a member of the IRA gang who carried out the robbery. He was caught, found guilty, and incarcerated, before being set free by Bill Clinton as an essential part of the Northern Ireland Peace Process. This remarkable book is Sam's story, from his childhood in Belfast, membership in the IRA, time spent in Long Kesh internment camps, and the Brinks heist and aftermath. ""Security guards told the police that they were surprised by assailants who had somehow evaded the sophisticated security system. They could not say how many robbers there were.it appears to be one of the biggest robberies in U.S. history.""- The New York Times, front page.
