I was pleasantly surprised after reading about 20 pages. A somewhat confusing beginning. The rest of the book was a total surprise! A mixture of IRA, kidnappings, best friends. A great read! I would like to read more of this author!

I finally had a chance to actually read this book--It is loaded with twists and turns-like a snake for a drain--I can't put it down--any avid reader who likes mystery and intrigue will love this book and believe me---you will not want to put it down until you have read the last line!!
