In The Assassin he turns his attention to the mind of a murderer. The book, gently yet skilfully, probes into the motives and mental make-up of a man who has been planning to commit murder for a number of years. It analyses his mentality both before and after the crime and during his dramatic changes of mood which vary from deep despair to extreme happiness. It is a gripping story in which the author successfully makes the reader realise how and why a man can be forced to commit the act of murder.". Seller Inventory # LitOFlaherty001
