Book description
Following the revelations of the secret conspiracy between British
Military Intelligence and the gunmen of the Ulster Defence Association
in Ten-Thirty-Three, Nicholas Davies now dramatically reveals the
evidence and facts that the Sir John Stevens Inquiry is still trying to
establish regarding links between the security services and loyalist
terrorist groups. In Dead Men Talking, Davies exclusively details the
covert killing operations planned, organised and carried through by the
RUC Special Branch and MI5, as well as by the British Army's covert
intelligence organisation, the Force Research Unit. He provides new
evidence on the killings that were authorised at the highest level of
MI5 and the British Government, and carried out by loyalist terror
groups. Davies also reveals the existence of a hitherto unknown secret
intelligence unit operating under MI5 and examines its role in the
government's undercover operation. Davies traces the work carried out by
the legendary 'Steak Knife', the British super-spy who infiltrated the
highest echelons of the Provisional IRA and passed their secrets to MI5
over a 30-year period. For the first time, Davies gives details of Steak
Knife's extraordinary life, reveals some of the Provo bombings and
shootings which he thwarted, and details vital secrets he passed to
British Intelligence. Dead Men Talking uncovers the true story of the
murder of Belfast solicitor Patrick Finucane, of UDA gunman William
Stobie and the subsequent murders of others allegedly involved. Dead Men
Talking uncovers the true story of the murder of Belfast solicitor
Patrick Finucane, of UDA gunman William Stobie and the subsequent

Davies has written some twenty-four books, many revealing the dramas,
the intrigue and the facts of the 'Dirty War' behind Northern Ireland's
recent troubled history.
