Synopsis

Richard Coulter is a man who has everything. His beautiful new wife is pregnant, his upstart airline is undercutting the competition and moving from strength to strength, his diversification into the casino business in Macau has been successful, and his fabulous Art Deco house on an Irish cliff top has just been featured in Architectural Digest. But then, for some reason, his exwife Rachel doesnt keep her side of the custody agreement and vanishes off the face of the earth with Richards two daughters. Richard hires Killian, a formidable exenforcer for the IRA, to track her down before Rachel, a recovering drug addict, harms herself or the girls. As Killian follows Rachels trail, he begins to see that there is a lot more to this case than first meets the eye and that a thirtyyearold secret is going to put all of them in terrible danger.

Goodreads review by Gregrhi

Adrian McKinty formally introduces a formerly secondary character as his new main man of action and conscious, Killian. Killian’s globetrotting adventures are as tense and intelligent as McKinty’s best chronicles of Michael Forsythe of the Dead Trilogy. Forsythe reappears in this latest masterpiece......more
