Enter Samantha, a British intelligence agent as cunning as she is voluptuous. She makes Michael an offer he cannot refuse: instead of being extradited to Mexico to serve time for a prison break, he can help her by infiltrating an IRA sleeper cell in the United States, and she'll see to it that the Spaniards and Mexicans forget all about him. Filled with apprehension about the dangers of the assignment, Michael reluctantly agrees. Within hours he is flown to New York City and thrust into the nightmare world of men known for their distinctive brands of torture and revenge. Michael crosses and double-crosses key players, escapes his own lies by a hairsbreadth, loses his only ally, and falls for the daughter of his enemy—a most inadvisable development.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBoasting spot-on dialogue, crackling wit, and one of the most memorable heroes in all of crime fiction, Adrian McKinty's dazzling new novel confirms his reputation as a brilliant storyteller and writer on the rise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRAISE FOR ADRIAN MCKINTY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"McKinty is one of the most striking and most memorable crime voices to emerge on the scene in years.\" —\u003cb\u003eTana French\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Adrian McKinty just leapt to the top of my list of must-read suspense novelists.
