Taking his cue from the true-life story of Special Forces Operative Captain Robert Nairac, Eoin McNamee has in The Ultras weaved a compelling fictional narrative through the backwaters of history. Set in the Ireland of the 1970s, it brings to life the dangerous shadowy margins of society in which Nairac immersed himself before his disappearance - the dangerous world of heretic plotters, outcasts, para-militarists and intelligence agencies alike.
Eoin McNamee's novels include Resurrection Man, later made into a film, The Blue Tango, which was longlisted for the Booker Prize, Orchid Blue, described by John Burnside in the Guardian as 'not only a political novel of the highest order but also that rare phenomenon, a genuinely tragic work of art,' and Blue is the Night which was awarded the 2015 Kerry Group Irish Novel of the Year Award. He lives in Sligo.
