Won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize (1925).

The Informer by Liam O'Flaherty is set during the Irish War of Independence. The story follows Gypo Nolan, a conflicted and desperate man who betrays a friend for reward money, only to be consumed by guilt, fear, and paranoia. As the consequences of his actions unfold over the course of a single night, the narrative delves deeply into themes of betrayal, conscience, and moral struggle. O'Flaherty's stark and gripping prose captures both the political tension of the time and the inner turmoil of a man facing the weight of his choices.
