Edgar Graham was just 29 years old when the IRA gunned him down at Queen’s University in Belfast. 

The young law lecturer and unionist politician was widely believed to be a future leader of the Ulster Unionist Party. 

Forty years later, Sam McBride investigates why the IRA targeted him, whether he was set up by a colleague, and where this lost leader of unionism might have led Northern Ireland.
