DUBLIN, 1922. As civil war tears Ireland apart, intelligence officer Christopher Flinter uncovers a deadly secret: the assassination of Michael Collins may have been orchestrated from within. Hunted by enemies on both sides, Flinter must navigate a maze of lies, betrayal, and covert power plays before he becomes the next target.

His former friend Anthony Caprani—a rogue Irish revolutionary—is drowning in the chaos of postwar Italy. Drawn into radical politics and seduced by a volatile beauty, Caprani is running out of time, money, and second chances.

As the two men follow separate paths through a landscape of spies, killers, and double agents, their stories collide in a conspiracy that could rewrite the history of a nation.

Sharp, cinematic, and relentless, A Bullet for the General is a historical thriller about the true cost of freedom—and the bullets fired long after the war is over.

Who can Flinter trust when enemies are hiding on both sides—and the truth could shake a newly divided nation?

A story of revolution, betrayal and the deadly secrets left behind by war.

A Bullet for the General is a fast-paced Irish historical crime thriller filled with political intrigue, espionage, conspiracy and murder, set against the turbulent aftermath of the Irish War of Independence.
