Interview: Richard O'Rawe, author of Goering's Gold: A Ructions O'Hare Novel

Jun 2, 2022

Richard O’Rawe follows up his debut novel, NORTHERN HEIST, with the newly released GOERING’S GOLD. Based on one of history's greatest unsolved heists, this thrilling sequel pits ex-IRA soldier Ructions O'Hare against the IRA, Interpol and neo-Nazis. In this interview conducted by Michael Barson, Senior Publicity Executive at Melville House, O’Rawe talks about his decision to make Nazi Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering the subject of his second book, why it’s so important to have patience during the writing process, and who he would like to see play Ructions in a potential film or television adaptation of GOERING’S GOLD.
