Summary

Praise for Tom Molloy's The Green Line: "Molloy's style is impressive in its tense self-control, conveying impacted emotion with a bare minimum of words. . . . The characters are vividly drawn, the whole thing is painfully realistic, and Tom Molloy has made an impressive debut."-- Publishers Weekly Set in Northern Ireland, Rebel Streetstakes an unblinking look at what happens when ordinary people are thrust into a world of violence, extremism, and betrayal--where options are few and consequences severe. Without resorting to caricature or stereotypes, Tom Molloy invites the reader back to a time of religious violence known as the Troubles. Tom Molloyhas driven eighteen-wheelers, served as a volunteer firefighter, de-iced commercial jetliners, worked as a social worker, and accompanied IRA fighters during street battles while covering the Troubles in Northern Ireland as a freelance journalist. On several occasions Molloy was detained by British security forces, and was once sent on a brief stint to the infamous Castlereagh detention center, where his novel Rebel Streetsopens. Other books by Molloy include The Vandaland The Green Line. A native of Boston, Massachusetts, Tom lives in South Portland, Maine.
