A tense calm that pervades over Northern Ireland is about to be broken by Jimmy Coogan, an IRA veteran gone renegade. As he plans to destroy the parliamentary ambitions of the IRA leadership, two unsuspecting young Americans are drawn in to the unforgiving labyrinth of modern terrorism.


From the publisher

After years of violence, a tense calm pervades Northern Ireland, soon to be broken by Jimmy Coogan, an IRA veteran gone renegade. Jimmy has stolen ten pounds of plastic explosive, intending to destroy the parliamentary ambitions of the IRA leadership. Into Jimmy's turbulent world come two young Americans: Brian, vain, ironic, but well-meaning; and Clare, a beautiful, earnest college student. In Ireland on an errand for his Irish Republican family in Detroit, Brian is recruited to Jimmy's bloody mission by his cousin Maire, Coogan's sharp-tongued wife. Soon they are all drawn into the unforgiving labyrinth of modern terrorism, borne toward a horrific and fatal climax.

First line

Jimmy Coogan kept his eye on the road behind him all the way out of Belfast, watching the blue-black ribbon raveling away in the rearview mirror as he drove up the valley of the River Main.
