Book Synopsis

John Baxter (A Trail of Blood), Roy Weston (The Rise and Fall of Roy Weston), and Barry Freeman (The Bastard of Brexley) have fled their homeland for the shores of Northern Ireland after a daring prison break. With new names and new identities, they are eager to start a new life and business with the assistance of their patron, Paddy O'Flynn, a commander in the old days of the Irish Republican Army, and currently a politician who still craves those days. They try at first to lead a crime-free life but once again are dragged into this criminal enterprise and then that, as Paddy reveals his true existence. Love, lust, liquor, and violence embrace them once again.
