Then Kerry began to see death. His first ambush was not so bad. The massacre of Black & Tans herded into a cell was worse. When he was a witness of the cold-blooded shooting of pretty Kitty Brady it was nearly too much. But when he was given...
...village, orders came from headquarters and Lady Moira was taken out and shot. Kerry went hell-for-leather to the nearest Black & Tan post, gave himself up, turned informer. He had the pleasure of seeing his oldtime pals butchered. Finally the Black & Tans tied him up in the underground factory, set a time-bomb ticking...
