Three In the Back, Two In the Head

by Jason Sherman

Winner of the Governor General’s Literary Award for Drama.

Donald Jackson, a weapons scientist for America’s defence programme, is found dead outside a church. No witnesses, no motive. When his son attempts to piece together the truth behind his father’s death, he is embroiled in a world of double agents, rogue states and global paranoia.

Inspired by the real life murder of the Canadian weapons scientist Gerald Bull, Three In The Back, Two In The Head grapples with the elusive nature of truth as the action shifts across conflicting versions of the past. Was Jackson a force for peace betrayed by merciless politicians? Or was he about to give America’s greatest enemy the missile that could destroy it?

“It is both intelligent and has that ‘page-turning’ quality of the best spy novels – you want to know what will happen next.” —British Theatre Guide
