Finding Dan is part historical fiction, part genealogical detective story. IRA man Daniel ORourke was the most dangerous man in Dungannon; Mal is his great-nephew, determined to find the real man behind the tales told by his family. This is a legend of evasion from arrest, internment on a diseased ship, and hunger strike; it is the legend too of glories on the Gaelic football pitch and a life spent on the run from the police and from the women who might have loved him. As Mals search deepens, Irelands troubled history interferes and a new legend of Dan emerges.
