In Dublin, a newspaper editor called Cartwright is found dead. One of his colleagues, Owen Simmons, discovers a dossier on Cartwrights desk. And in the dossier Owen finds a photograph, which brings him back to a dusty road in Africa and to the woman he once loved! Not Untrue and Not Unkind is Owens story - a gripping story of friendship, rivalry and betrayal amongst a group of journalists and photographers covering Africas wars. It is an astonishingly powerful and accomplished debut that immediately establishes Ed OLoughlin as a mature master of the novel form.
