The Shankill butchers (1990)
The Shankill butchers is a 1990 terrorism book written by Martin Dillon.
The Shankill Butchers was an Ulster loyalist gang, many of whom were members of the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF), that was active between 1975 and 1982 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It was based in the Shankill area and was responsible for the deaths of at least 23 people, most of whom were killed in sectarian attacks. The gang was notorious for kidnapping and murdering random Irish Catholic civilians; each was beaten ferociously and had his throat hacked with a butcher's knife. Some were also tortured and attacked with a hatchet. The gang also killed six Ulster Protestants over personal disputes, and two other Protestants mistaken for Catholics. (from Wikipedia)
