In 1982, Malcolm Macarthur killed two strangers in Ireland in an attempt to pull off a bank heist. Since his arrest, conviction and release, he has remained one of the most infamous and feared murderers in Irish history. In author Mark O’Connell’s latest book, A Thread of Violence: A Story of Truth, Invention, and Murder, he demystifies Macarthur’s story – through one-on-one conversations with the killer. Mark joins producer Julie Berke to discuss what he learned about Macarthur and the case in his writing process.
