The Poppy Day Bomb
A bombing kills 11 people attending the Remembrance Sunday commemorations in the small town of Enniskillen, Northern Ireland. A twelfth victim would die in a coma 13 years later. No one has ever been charged. A lifetime later, The Times's reporter Mario Ledwith returns to his hometown, asking who carried out these bloody murders, how the authorities failed to fully investigate, and why a silence continues to surround what happened.
