Synopsis
Belfast is Silver s city. The city always made you pay for your dreams. Silver Steele, the folk-hero who fired the first shot of the Troubles, escapes from a prison cell into a city where he is remembered only in graffiti and finds a world where he is a symbol of a cause he no longer belongs to. Silver discovers that he has swapped a cell for the illusion of freedom: he is now the prisoner of Galloway, one of a new generation of gunmen. Against the background of a city at war Silver and Galloway engage in a private duel to the death.Silver s City introduced a new authenticity to the literature of Northern Ireland and is one of the seminal fictional portraits of the Troubles.
