Brendan Francis Aidan Behan[1] (christened Francis Behan) [2] (/ ˈbiːən / BEE-ən; Irish: Breandán Ó Beacháin; 9 February 1923 – 20 March 1964) was an Irish poet, short story writer, novelist, playwright, and Irish Republican, [3] an activist who wrote in both English and Irish.
A quick-and-easy Behan read, filled with a kind of wry humour. Published in parts under another name - it was only printed as a Behan after his death - this is a tale of criminal double-crossings, prison-breaks and horse protection, spanning Ireland and France.

THE SCARPERER. by Brendan Behan ‧ RELEASE DATE: June 19, 1964. A rogue's tale in a brogue as thick as porridge careens from pub to prison and across the Channel on a paper chase of counterfeit bills. Bibulous Tralee Trembles, his elbow bent by a stranger in town, wakes up in jail ""roaring at the divil.""
The Scarperer has arranged to have him drowned and his body washed up on the coast of France.
Late in his novel The Scarperer, Brendan Behan introduces a pair of characters — an Anglo-Irish dowager and her niece, Nancy, a student in Paris — who essentially leverage the deus ex machina ending that he needed to escape his entertaining but intrinsically flawed narrative.
Doubleday in 1964, shortly after Behan’s death, Jeffs recounts how Behan mentioned The Scarperer only in the course of testifying, from personal experience, about the challenge of writing ‘a crime story’.
