Book Synopsis



Set against the backdrop of The Troubles in Derry, this is the story of the Devlin family. On that Tuesday, Kitty Devlin had her own troubles and they had nothing to do with politics. Kitty's husband Jim is a tailor. A snob, he has made a one-of-a-kind suit to impress his friends and neighbours. He only ever wears it to Mass on Sundays. What he doesn't know is that every Monday his kind hearted wife pawns the suit and loans the money to her destitute neighbour Bessie Boyle, redeeming it on Saturdays for his trip to Mass on Sunday. Kitty is thrown into a panic when Jim comes home from work on Tuesday and tells her he is going to a works do and he will be wearing his suit. She has no money to get the suit out of the pawn. After she has exhausted every possibility of finding the money, she has an idea.

Her husband had secretly made a suit the same for Sergeant Black, a policeman in the RUC. In desperation Kitty asked her eighteen year old son, Sean, to try to somehow to get Sergeant Black's suit. When he hears that his father has been working for the police he goes ballistic. His mother doesn't know that her son is in The Movement. He knows only too well what would happen if the IRA found out! His father would be considered a police collaborator, and shot!

Rosary beads in hand, Kitty sits at the fireside praying fervently for a miracle. And then it happened! Her old friend, Lals won five pounds on the horses. She gives the money to Kitty, but just as she is about to go to the pawn to get the suit, Jim arrives home from work to tell her that the pawn has been blown up. And so Kitty's nightmare begins...
