In Harms Way

The Canary Wharf bombing in 1996 shattered nearly eighteen months of IRA cease-fire. The shrapnel blasted into the halls of Government, the hopes of Northern Irish people and the life of David Boyle. He was about to become the third innocent victim of the bombing. He was guilty. Guilty of falling in love with Kathy, another man's wife, a colleague in the Belfast office. The affair had been a release for her, a chance to dream beyond the confines of history and hate. The affair ended when she woke up to the reality. The fear of discovery, fear of her gangster husband's cruelty outweighed the damage that she inflicted on Dave. As one door closes another gets smashed off of it's hinges in an early morning police raid on Dave's home in the days following the bombing. He had been in the right place at the right time on too many occasions. A country under threat, a government under pressure and a police force needing results pick on the wrong man. Dave takes to the West Highland Way to forget his problems.
