Resurrection Man (2015)

About book Resurrection Man (2015)

It gets better in the second half is all that can be said for it.The real life Shankhill Butchers story is dripping with symbolism and horror. I am not sure if McNamee adds much to the story. He refuses to take Loyalist self-justifications at all seriously and swerves immediately to describing their beliefs explicitly as fascism. I understand he may have been nervous of acting as a mouthpiece for vile propaganda but by failing to explain the Butchers' motivations in their own terms he makes their actions seem random. The violence is so gratuitous and inexplicable that it struck me as ridiculous. Some individual scenes are excellent - the transcript of a witness in particular is excellent - but there is a better novel about the Butchers yet to be written.
