Introduction

On December 7, 1972 a Belfast woman named Jean McConville heard a knock at her front door just before a group of masked men and women dragged her from her home and forced her into a van.

It was not until years later that McConville's children would learn the truth: her disappearance was no ordinary kidnapping, but an execution by the Irish Republican Army.

Patrick Radden Keefe is an investigative journalist whose work has appeared in The New Yorker, Slate, and The New York Times.

In this book, Keefe explores McConville's murder in the context of the Troubles, the civil conflict in Northern Ireland that claimed thousands of lives between the 1960s and the late 1990s.
