Brian Moore Lies of silence

When Michael Dillon is ordered by the IRA to park his car in the carpark of a Belfast hotel, he is faced with a moral choice which leaves him absolutely nowhere to turn.

He knows that he is planting a bomb that would kill and maim dozens of people.

But he also knows that if he doesn't, his wife will be killed.
