Description This is the story of an incarcerated madman, Thomas Dunne. His present is peopled by snatches of a vivid past and interrupted by the intrusions of attendant reality. Dunne was the last Catholic head of the Dublin Metropolitan Police Force and loyal to the British Crown just before Ireland became a Free State. Thus was he thrust from power to Parish. And into madness.
