Short Description
8. The Journal
Medium Description
A security breach. A top-secret surveillance operation. A government collapsed. The exposure and death of a spy.
Long Description
Twenty years on, nobody has been convicted of the murder of Denis Donaldson. One potentially key piece of evidence, a journal he was supposedly writing around the time of his death, is being held by Irish police. His family wants it returned, but their efforts are unsuccessful.
