From Library Journal
Factional strife within the Irish Republican Army is the subject of this chilling thriller. Brian Donovan, a young American from an IRA-sympathizing family in Detroit, gets caught up in the ruthless internal struggle when he agrees to transport money across the Atlantic to the IRA. Once in Ireland, his terrorist cousins, who are plotting to overthrow the IRA leadership, prevail upon him to undertake a dangerous mission across the Irish border. Brian gets romantically involved with Clare, an American student, but the affair turns tragic when the full horror of what he has been drawn into becomes known. Hynes brings the brutal world of modern terrorism, with its contempt of life and its strange code of honor, vividly to life. The hard realism is frequently terrifying, the plot is believable, and the narrative drive never slackens.
