The Executioner Next Door
A spy in suburbia. The true story of the Armyβs βgolden eggβ agent, a killer who was at the heart of the IRA and retired to live out his life in England.
The quiet Irishman behind the high hedge had a history his neighbours could have never guessed: the man they knew as 'Frank' was really Freddie Scappaticci, a man with many secrets. Not only had he been an Irish Republican Army killer, he was at the same time an agent for the Army β perhaps their most important source inside the IRA, with access to their most sensitive secrets.
