Publisher Description

On a visit to Northern Ireland, newspaper reporter Sam Briscoe meets with a mysterious IRA leader and agrees to deliver an envelope to his supporters in New York City. It's a decision with grave consequences—not just for Briscoe, but for his eleven-year-old daughter as well. Because the bloody Irish conflict is about to come to the streets of New York, and Briscoe is the only man standing in its way.

"An excellent, quick read. Plenty of believable action, although he did put silencers on revolvers, but that was the only issue I noticed. The story was fast paced & well written. The plot was believable & logical. The character was well drawn & perfect. I loved the ending. "

— Jim (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Though first released twenty-three years ago, it’s only dated by its villains, not its prose, subject matter, or Christian Conn’s delivery…Conn’s performance refreshes the thriller.”

    " Hard-boiled crime noir that goes deep into the IRA travelling from New York to Belfast to Switzerland from a former editor of the Post and the News. "

    " Really not bad. I have an interest in Northern Ireland history and this had enough facts to make it interesting. Briscoe, the main character is kind of a jerk. He just never knows when to leave it alone. However, the story is compelling enough to make it interesting. "

    " I like Pete Hammill. He's a great writer. But a lousy novelist. I didn't think it was a good fit for the HCC line, either. Guess Charles likes Pete too. "

    " This book was OK. It was more like a saturday matinee idol. Nothing could slow down the star of this book. I would recommend it if you are between books, it's a quick read. "
