Great
Gift for Your Family and Friends!
Celtic Cat Publishing is pleased to announce the release, in April 2012, of Jim Johnston's debut novel, The Price of Peace. The novel might best be described as an interactive legal thriller, i.e. at a key point in the story, the reader has an opportunity to play the role of a juror and determine whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty.
For people weary of death and destruction, the future is full of hope as the 1998 Peace Agreement signals the end to thirty years of conflict in Northern Ireland. But victims of The Troubles soon realize there is a price to pay— the early release from prison of the very people who made them victims.
Gráinne O'Connor, a widow in her forties, believes this price is too high. In her search for justice, she forms an unlikely alliance that ultimately leads to her arrest. Her subsequent trial sets the stage for the novel's riveting examination of justice and the role justice plays in the pursuit of peace.
Twelve jurors decide Gráinne's fate, but by the end of chapter 15 you, the reader, have all the evidence required to make your own judgment. You can communicate your verdict by completing the survey at www.thepriceofpeace.net. You may then continue reading the novel to find out the jury's decision. The site will publish the cumulative results from the survey and provide a forum for a discussion on justice.
Orders can be placed from our catalogue.
