Absorbing from beginning to end... the sort of book that makes you lose track of time
Evokes the atmosphere and smell of the back streets of Belfast as nothing else I have ever read
A though thriller, vibrant with suspense
Devastatingly good... you can smell the mean streets where the terrorists hide
First rate... Edge-of-the-seat reading
So effective is the use of detail that the atmosphere is totally authentic and the reader feels like they are walking the streets of the city itself . . . The pace never slackens for a moment . . . Plot, characters, historical background - Seymour manages them all perfectly in what has come to be regarded as the thriller par excellence.
PRAISE FOR GERALD SEYMOUR:
You don't read Gerald Seymour, you commit to it totally. His stories have amazing detail, yet you still fly through them. And your effort is well rewarded
The great strength of Seymour's writing lies in his depiction of the poor bloody infantry of crime and policing
Seymour's finger is always on the current socio-political pulse
Thrilling plots and . . . credible and sympathetic characters
Supreme spy writer
[Charles] Cumming is matched only by Gerald Seymour now when it comes to recounting field operations
