Fergus Callan decides to leave his comfortable life in Boston to head back to Belfast. For most people this would be a return to home and a time for joy, however, for him this could be the end of his life. Fergus is an ex IRA sniper who left the country on bad terms with both former associates and the law. The question is who will catch up with him first and who can he trust?

A quick read and definitely one for Jack Higgins fans. Fast paced and plenty of action.
The book remains controversial to this day. Almost a day to day account of the short-lived Haughey government of March-November 1982.
