520    "From the award-winning author comes a gripping account of
       one of the most scandalous murder in modern Irish history,
       at once a propulsive work of true crime and an act of 
       literary subversion. Malcolm MacArthur was a well-known 
       Dublin socialite and heir. Suave and urbane, he passed his
       days mingling with artists and aristocrats, reading 
       philosophy, living a life of the mind. But by 1982, his 
       inheritance had dwindled to almost nothing, a desperate 
       threat to his lifestyle. MacArthur hastily conceived a 
       plan: He would commit bank robbery, of the kind that had 
       become frightfully common in Dublin at the time. But his 
       plan spun swiftly out of control, and he needlessly killed
       two innocent people. The ensuing manhunt, arrest, and 
       conviction amounted to one of the most infamous political 
       scandals in modern Irish history, contributing to the 
       eventual collapse of a government. Wellcome and Rooney 
       Prize-winning author Mark O'Connell spent countless hours 
       in conversation with MacArthur-interviews that veered from
       confession to evasion. Through their tense exchanges and 
       O'Connell's independent reporting, a pair of narratives 
       unspools: a riveting account of MacArthur's crimes and a 
       study of the hazy line between truth and invention. We 
       come to see not only the enormity of the murders but the 
       damage that's inflicted when a life is rendered into 
       story. At once propulsive and searching, A Thread of 
       Violence is a hard look at a brutal act, its subterranean 
       origins, and the long shadow it casts. It offers a 
       haunting and insightful examination of the lies we tell 
       ourselves--and the lengths we'll go to preserve them"--
