“A non-stop action crime novel”
Danny
Callaghan has only been out of prison for a few months, when one evening in a
bar two men enter with guns. At first Danny thinks they are after him, then an
ex con he knew in stir begs him for help, and he interrupts the gunmen,
allowing their target to escape. He doesn’t realize what he’s done. Now Danny’s
is in their sights.
The
Irish underworld controls Ireland in a grip of death, and when two king pins
think about overthrowing each other, people begin dying. When one man, even an
ex con like Danny, stands up to stop a hit, it’s a minor annoyance but one
that’s easily overcome. That is, unless things go drastically wrong with the
plans. The author follows each of the main characters, and we see into the
minds of men with evil hearts as well as good. In truth, the killers think they
are the heroes, and the authority and those that interfere with them are the
evil ones. One minute they order the torture and death of the innocent, the
next they pray to God that He guides their plans to completion. Perhaps in the
end, Danny Callaghan is the reluctant hero. This is a fast-paced page-turner.
There is never really a mystery, except on who will come out of the battle in
the end. For anyone that likes a crime novel, this one will satisfy you.
