About This Book

En Ucrania, en los años 50, la KGB ha construido una réplica perfecta de una ciudad irlandesa con el único objetivo de entrenar en ella a los futuros agentes terroristas y de espionaje. Y allí inicia su aprendizaje Mikhail Kelly, huérfano de un militante irlandés del IRA ahorcado por los ingleses. Años después, en 1982, M. Kelly llega a Irlanda.
