'RUTHLESSLY IMPOSED SUSPENSE' The Times
'ONE OF THE BEST THRILLERS OF THE YEAR' Washington Post
As the distrust, betrayal and terror that pervade 1970s Northern Ireland threaten to boil over into a full-scale civil war, British Intelligence make a last, desperate play for peace.
Harry Finn, an Englishman in Belfast secretly working for the British government, is sent to destroy a Protestant extremist leader, James Kilshaw.
But the ancient hatreds which inflame Catholics and Protestants soon engulf Finn. He is a man in the middle - useful to all sides but also expendable.
Gradually Finn becomes aware that he is acting out a part in a drama where morality has no role, truth has little meaning, and human life counts for nothing.
And as the threat of war draws closer with each passing hour, Harry Finn realises that it is he, the outsider, who must stage the drama's ending if he is to stay alive.
