About this listen

In a city scarred by conflict, secrets can kill and trust is a dangerous gamble.

Psychologist Aaron Thornton is riddled with self-doubt after failing to stop a tragic incident at the American prison where he works. So when his wife, Claire, receives a job offer in her native Belfast, Northern Ireland, he sees a chance to start over by treating hardened criminals in Northern Ireland’s judicial system.

But Thornton’s work soon entangles him in the aftermath of ‘The Troubles,’ a brutal conflict that rocked Belfast for over thirty years. While overseeing the release of the Irish Republican Army’s deadliest assassin, Thornton reignites smoldering feuds that threaten to consume him and his family in the flames of political violence.

Alongside a broad cast of morally complex characters who reflect the many facets and shifting allegiances of The Troubles, Thornton fights to heal long-standing hatred and prevent another tragedy. But in a city where suspicion and betrayal run deep, can he save himself?

In the spirit of John le Carré and Graham Greene, writer David A. Dummer has created an everyman hero for our time, and with ‘Born of Bombs and Bullets,’ a gripping suspense thriller that sticks with you long after the dust settles.
