About the Book
|
Twins are born in a Dublin convent, separated at birth and adopted into vastly different worlds, one in to the wealth on a Montana ranch, the other in to the poverty of a Belfast ghetto to become an IRA Assassin.
After assassinating a British Official, the Irish twin is sent to the US. His twin arrives in Ireland for the first time. Mistaken for his Irish brother, he’s arrested, brutally interrogated, sentenced to life in prison during the IRA hunger strike of 1981 in which ten men died.
Finding out he has a twin brother for the first time, the Irish twin can’t let his brother sit in Long Kesh in his place. He comes back to Ireland to turn himself in but the Irish Republican Army, the Royal Ulster Constabulary and the radical Loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force all have different plans, none of them the same, all of them violent. The twins are on a collision course with each other that will change their lives forever, and the lives of all those around them, as the forces that have clashed for the last eight hundred years in Northern Ireland clash once again. Except this time, the cover up starts at the top and works it way down to the streets of Belfast where everything you expect is swept away.
