Book Description:
In 1985, off the northwest coast of England, an audacious hijacking by Irish Protestant paramilitaries culminates in the disappearance of one hundred million pounds of gold bullion. En route to Ireland, the seagoing barge Irish Rose capsizes and sinks under mysterious circumstances. Michael Ryan , the mastermind behind the plot , his niece Kathleen, and the mysterious Martin Keogh survive the disaster. Everyone and everything else on board disappear beneath the waves with the ship. Ten years later, as the peace process falters in Ireland, the American president gets information about the Irish Rose and her cargo; it may be at the disposal of terrorist powers, who intend to use it to finance an Irish civil war. Inspired by the adage, "set a thief to catch a thief, " the president and the English prime minister agree: only Sean Dillon, once the most feared IRA enforcer, now in the employ of British Intelligence, can avert disaster.

A wonderful tale of what seems to be one drama links into another ten years later. The dynamic blend of Irish and English history as each struggle to control a land so sacred and deeply rooted in religous fervor. Sean Dillon is the hero of this drama and favorite among Higgins characters. What makes this story so much better is the silky smooth narrative read by Patrick MacNee noted for his role as John Steed in the Avengers series. He brings this story to life and keeps you in suspense in cassette. It is 9 hours of material you can listen to in your car or while doing chores at home. I enjoyed every minute of it and I hope you will too.
