The cases in this work include the abduction and murder of 10-year-old Bernadette Connolly in County Sligo in 1970. Bernadette vanished while cycling her bike; her body was found at a bog four months later. Also profiled in "Unsolved" is the fatal shooting of Chief Prison Officer Brian Stack - the only murder of a prison officer in the history of the state. Another case examined is the double killing of Eddie McCabe and Catherine Brennan in Tallaght in 1995. Gardai believe Eddie McCabe was the intended target of the attack and Catherine was shot in the head simply because she was a witness to the killing."Unsolved" also looks at the murder of Galway taxi driver Eileen Costello O'Shaughnessy, and the murder of Marie Kilmartin whose body was found hidden in a bog drain in County Offaly in June 1994. This book also charts the investigation into the tragic disappearance of two men in Cork and the murder of a third man in the city eight months later. The murder of fifteen-year-old Tyrone schoolgirl Arlene Arkinson is also examined in detail. Arlene disappeared after a night out in August 1994. Despite extensive searches in both Donegal and Tyrone, Arlene's body has not yet been found.

Patrick Greg
The Crum
Pbk published October 2007 by Gill & Macmillan at £10.99
ISBN: 0717141616
Growing up in Northern Ireland during the 1970s and the 1980s, it was impossible not to be touched by the Troubles in some way. The relentless barrage of bombings and shootings made everyone realise that their society was being fashioned out of conflict. In some ways the most secure careers were in the security forces, yet these jobs could come with a high price. When, at the tender age of twenty-two, Patrick Greg joined the Prison Service at Crumlin Road Prison, he caught a glimpse of what lay beneath the surface of such a place. The people who worked there and the people who were imprisoned there all had a story to tell, yet the building itself held the secrets of much, much more. A deeply imposing structure with a dark and disturbing past, to Greg Crumlin Road Prison was absolutely fascinating. It had seen tragedy and death over a span of over 150 years, and had been home on occasion to some of Northern Ireland's best known political figures.
