Publisher's Synopsis
For over a decade the McCarthy/Dundon gang has been a blight on Limerick. From drug dealing and armed robbery to abduction, torture and murder, they have demonstrated a merciless thirst for power and money.In 2009 Mark Heffernan and his family were subjected to a sustained campaign of threats and intimidation when the McCarthy/Dundons tried to extort money and force Mark to pay an _80,000 debt he didn't owe. When Mark refused to pay he was told he was a dead man and that his family would be burnt out of Limerick. The situation reached boiling point when Mark was cornered by the armed gang in a cul-de-sac and confronted with an open car boot. A high-speed chase through Limerick ensued as Mark drove over pavements and traffic islands to escape certain death.
