Until his 21st birthday, Sean Corrigan didn’t even know he had an uncle—let alone one who was accused of murder, fled to Ireland, and was later killed by MI5. Narrator Oliver Wyman easily handles the transitions as the story alternates between Sean in 1996 and his Uncle Mike, in 1972. Sean is portrayed with a youthful and expressive Midwestern accent; Mike is portrayed with a cocky, yet at times contemplative, Brooklyn accent. As both men travel to Ireland on a journey to understand the past, Wyman makes liberal use of his Irish brogue—from the occasional slips of the Irish-American characters to the heavy accents of those they encounter in Ireland. As it becomes clear that the characters' stories are more intertwined than they first seem, Wyman’s reading helps bring all the threads together. E.N. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
For third-generation Irish-American Sean Corrigan, the past is whatever happened yesterday. Then, on his 21st birthday, his father gives him a musty leather-bound journal that changes his life. Written by his uncle, Michael, a man Sean never even knew existed, it draws Sean into a hunt for the truth. Did Michael, a former NYPD detective, really kill a black civil rights worker? When he fled the United States to hide in Ireland, why was he killed by the British? Who is the beautiful, auburn-haired Kate, and why does Sean feel so strongly that he remembers her?
Determined to solve the mystery of his uncle's murder, Sean travels to Ireland, where he is caught up in the lives of people who not only know about Michael but have a score to settle. As his connection to his uncle grows stronger, Sean realizes that the journal also carries the story of his own life-his past as well as his future.
