Political Analyst's Stunning New Novel Explores Conflict in Ireland

London (PRWEB) September 21, 2007 -- The Ghost Man by Malcolm Haslett is a ripped-from-the-headlines novel of the Irish conflict told by an Irishman who experienced it. Part of a series which began with The Tragic Fate of Matty Coyle, Haslett's much-anticipated new novel examines the dark heart of the tragedy of Ireland.

Although violence no longer tears the country apart, the communities in Northern Ireland are still very much divided. In his stirring novel, The Ghost Man, Irishman and author Malcolm Haslett examines the ways people are torn apart by inherited prejudice and their unwillingness to bend to other points of view.

When a stranger comes into a fishing port in West Ireland, locals are unsure what to make of him. Donal, who was active in the Republican movement in the North, begins to suspect that this brooding stranger was sent to track him down. But as Donal digs deeper, he begins to wonder if this "Ghost Man" might actually be more ally than enemy.

A political analyst and international broadcaster, Haslett's depth of knowledge brings a powerful authenticity to the novel. Beautifully written and filled with characters so real they leap from the pages, The Ghost Man is not just a great read, but a timely and important story for anyone concerned with Ireland and its history.
