SYNOPSIS: SPIES AND FREEDOM FIGHTERS, MURDER AND MOBSTERS--AN EXPLOSIVE TRUE STORY OF INTERNATIONAL SCANDAL AND ASSASSINATION ON AMERICAN SOIL. John McIntyre's body has never been found, but now, at last, the layers of lies are peeled away exposing his incredible story for the first time. Never before have so many worldwide factions conspired to create such a deadly puzzle--and never before has an assassination by a major power taken place in America.the assassination of an innocent man. September, 1984, the S.S. Valhalla departed Massachusetts with the largest shipment of arms for the IRA in history. Also on board was young Irish American John McIntyre. The mid-ocean transfer of the arms was intercepted by British intelligence. Events were soon blown way out of proportion, and sixty-three days later, McIntyre would be dead, the victim of an incredible international conspiracy/cover-up involving the IRA, KGB, British SAS, CIA, and the Mafia. A complex web of deceit and lies was woven to snare young John McIntyre, to brand him a spy and traitor, and to ultimately have him killed by a trained assassin. But one thing was overlooked: John's parents, retired professional spies, crack espionage agents who used all the expertise at their command to unravel a chilling plot and expose the true killers of their innocent son.
