Reporter Seamus Ryle follows a tip-off that a dog has been shot on Dun Laoghaire pier but misses an exclusive story about the drowning in the harbour of up and coming politician Maurice Clark. Determined to make sense of the politician's death - and to retrieve his flagging career - his pursuit of the story leads him to Clark's secret life, a suave American miner, the IRA, and the machinations of 1970s Irish politics and diplomacy. He finds himself chasing the story of his career but learns one of the hard lessons of journalism's illusions.

Off The Record

The Guinnesses is the story of a family that turned a small 18th century legacy into a huge 20th century fortune, creating one of the world’s great brands and rising from “trade” into the highest levels of British aristocratic society in the 20th century. This compelling, racy, epic biography tells how they weaved their way to wealth and social success through often troubled times. It covers their roles in Irish and British politics as well as business and society and the scandals and controversies which sometimes embroiled them, some of which never saw the light of day, like a 19th century sex scandal; others have been long-forgotten, like the murders of four of their employees in the west of Ireland and the financial skulduggery which accompanied their final step into the ranks of the super-rich in the late 19th century. Full of insights and incidents, it covers a cast of characters - businessmen, politicians, socialites, explorers and eccentrics - from the God-fearing Arthur Guinness to the early death in 1992 of Benjamin Guinness, the last family member to sit on the board of the Guinness company.
