I like DeMille A LOT...but this book was not my favorite I've read of his. Very confusing, too many characters and not enough twists.

Christa B. (St. Patricks Day, New York City everyone is celebrating but IRA man Brian Flynn has masterminded a terrorist act, the seizure of St. Patricks Cathedral. The cops face a booby-trapped killing zone and the hostages face death.
Demille is the best! This was fun to re-read! I had read it 90 and had loved it. His books are fast paced and edge of your seat rides. A great read for anyone who likes a thrill.
