Book description
In 1977 Eamonn Cooke was a household name in Ireland. He'd launched
the controversial pirate radio show, Radio Dublin, from his cramped
living room in Inchicore and for youngsters everywhere in Ireland he
was a public hero.
But there was a terrible side to this trendy 'granddaddy of Irish
radio' that no one could ever have imagined. When Siobhan
Kennedy-McGuinness first ventured into Cooke's garage, to her
seven-year-old eyes it was like an Aladdin's cave. Filled with
broadcasting equipment it became a playground for her and her friends.
And for Cooke, it became a place he could lure his unsuspecting victims.
Cooke's abuse was calculated and terrifying. Siobhan suffered in
silence for years. Then one day, almost twenty years later, she saw
the man who had haunted her life holding the hands of two wide-eyed
children. In their faces she recognised her own fear. Finally, she
knew she had to reveal Cooke for the monster he really was...
