Synopsis

Book by Moore Brian

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

'A gripping read which...you will find impossible to put down' Literary Review

When Michael Dillon is ordered by the IRA to park his car in the carpark of a Belfast hotel, he is faced with a moral choice which leaves him absolutely nowhere to turn. He knows that he is planting a bomb that would kill and maim dozens of people. But he also knows that if he doesn't, his wife will be killed.

'This is a novel to mirror the disintegration of our times, the unstated irony of which is that a politics so provincial can breed a writer and an art so universal' Observer

'Characteristically first rate...intelligent...brilliant' New York Times

'The pace never flags; the writing is crisp and taut; the moral crises...are intensely complex and gripping' Irish Independent
