Jacket review

This is a novel to mirror the disintegration of our times, the unstated irony of which is that a politics so provincial can breed a writer and an art so universal Observer An armchair time bomb Mail on Sunday A gripping read which ... you will find impossible to put down' Literary Review Very much the thinking person's thriller - utterly tense and riveting, but also posing an acute moral dilemma for an ordinary person caught up in the troubled politics of Northern Ireland Daily Express It insists on being read at a sitting, for it is imperative to know what happens next Financial Times As good as one has come to expect from Brian Moore: the pace never flags; the writing is crisp and taut; the moral crises... are intensely complex and gripping Irish Independent
