About

From the bestselling, prize-winning author Linden MacIntyre comes An Accidental Villain, an engrossing, page-turning exploration of the little-known life of Sir Hugh Tudor, a man who changed the course of Irish history. Appointed by his friend Winston Churchill, Tudor led the police in Ireland during the Irish War of Independence, becoming commander of the notorious Black and Tans, waging a brutal campaign against the rebel ‘terrorists’. With his trademark style, Macintyre digs into the detective story to uncover the man who left few traces of his time in Ireland nor of his reasons to leave his family and homeland in 1925, moving across the sea to Newfoundland.
