My Review:-This is Book Two in 'Detective Christine Dane Thrillers'. Liam Rafferty witnessed the murder of his fifteen-year-old brother, Martin when he was eleven-year-old. He always said someone had to pay for it at any cost. Now he's older and he still thinks the same, but will he go through with it?

 It's up to Mick McAuthur, the Republican movement's intelligence chief to stop anything happening, but he knows it's not going to be that easy. I don't want to say much about the book as you have to read to see just how deep it will take you into the story.

 The book is set in the 80's, which at the time Britain and Ireland didn't have a good relationship. The book shows just how much the British Police and Army was hated, especially by the IRA. Especially for what we saw and heard through television, the press and radio.  Having seen first hand through the British army, I found the author Simon Dinsdale doing an excellent job with describing just how life was and seen by so many people. The plot along with the characters worked really well together. It was fast pace and I do hope that Simon has more to come for us.
