1916, Dublin. Loyalties are strained and tension is rife during the Easter Rebellion and the bitter years that follow.

These are the early years of Sinn Féin; the time of dreaded, terrible deeds. Through the diverging lives of two young brothers, the agony of Ireland during this harrowing period is brought to life.

The Scorching Wind is the final instalment of Walter Macken’s ambitious and enthralling Irish Trilogy.

‘The long tale of terror and bravery, the arrests, the burnings, the ambushes, the reprisals, is told with the deftness of a professional storyteller’ - Irish Press
