A spark was ignited when their eyes met across the crowded room. The lights were dim. Soft music played, and the candlelight flickered on the highlights in Elizabeth's auburn hair. As they edged closer, their fingers touched across the table. It sagged and buckled under the weight of the coffin of Fat Frankie, the Provo-hitman-turned-drug pusher.

The poignant story begins in the Bogside in Free Derry, in the North of Ireland. In the riot-torn city, a young Catholic entrepreneur is torn between two lovers in an unbridled love triangle. Elizabeth, the genteel Protestant English lady and Siobhan, a passionate, Catholic IRA officer. Elizabeth knows in the Protestant community, her forbidden love is an audacious taboo. Her parents want her to return to peaceful England. Yet a scandalous romance is blossoming amid the bombs and bullets.

When a daring ambush of British soldiers is inadvertently foiled, Cormac makes a deadly enemy of an active IRA unit. Horrific bombings, relentless gun battles and furious car chases follow while a ruthless IRA supergrass plots a bloodbath.

Sensational deception is exposed behind the scenes and at the highest levels in the British Government, while shameless deceit is uncovered in the Church, the business sector and in relationships. Tragic events unfold in a flurry of fast-paced action in this roman-à-clef adult thriller that depicts everyday life in a nationalist ghetto during the IRA armed struggle... and the covert British retaliation.

Flowing through the narrative is the stoic Derry sense of humour that carried its citizens through thirty years of guerrilla warfare.
