Even though the actual perpetrators of the bombings are known and has disavowed any knowledge of the family Maguire and the Guildford Four, at time of writing the book, the Guildford four were still in jail and the Maguire family were still under suspicion for helping of the manufacturing of the bombs that blew the Guildford pub up.
