Based on the life and death of William Mitchell, a Black & Tan and the only member of the British Crown Forces to be hanged for murder during the Irish War of Independence, Kelly’s novel tells the true and hitherto untold story of this tragic Irishman. Did Mitchell Kill the magistrate? Did he deserve to hang or was this a politically motivated miscarriage of justice?

STARS: Astronomers using the new Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array have imaged a region around a young star where dust particles can grow by clumping together. This is the first time that such a dust trap has been clearly observed and modelled. It solves a long-standing mystery about how dust particles in discs grow to larger sizes so that they can eventually form comets, planets and other rocky bodies. The results are published in the journal Science on 7 June 2013.
