John Steeles explosive Geschichte der Paramilitärs in Belfast greift auf die dreißig Jahre alte düstere Geschichte einer langen Reihe von Gräueltaten zurück, mit denen die IRA, die INLA, die Ulster Volunteer Force und die Ulster Defence Association sich gegenseitig bekämpften, während die Polizei und die britische Armee die jeweils ihnen genehme Seite unterstützt. Jackie Shaw kehrt nach Belfast zurück, um an der Beerdigung seines alkoholkranken Vaters teilzunehmen, findet aber schnell heraus, dass seine Vergangenheit ihn einholt. 1993 unter­stützte die Belfast East Brigade der UDA. Ein schrecklicher Bombenanschlag auf eine Videothek, in der neun Zivilisten und Kinder, getötet wurden. Er fuhr das Fluchtfahrzeug und verschwand danach spurlos. Seine verbrannte Leiche wurde am Tatort gefunden. Im Ethos der Paramilitärs ist alles akzeptabel, außer ein Polizei- oder Armeeinformant oder noch schlimmer, ein verdeckter Polizist oder Geheimdienst. Die Strafe für beide ist brutale Folter und eine Kugel in den Hinterkopf. Jahre später hat das Karfreitagsabkommen die Dinge verän­dert. Die Paramilitärs haben ihren Zweck verloren. Einige, wie Jackies ehemaliger Komman­dant, finanzieren ihren Lebensstil mit dem gleichen Schutzgeld, das sie einst in ihren Ge­meinden erhoben haben. Andere mit Drogen, Prostitution, Menschenhandel und arbeiten sogar mit ihren ehemaligen IRA-Feinden zusammen.
