A modern classic from one of the great thriller writers of our era.
In the villages and on the mountains of County Tyrone, in the heartland of the Provisional IRAâs most active Brigade, the golden rule is âHear nothing, see nothing, know nothingâ. To collaborate with British Intelligence is to invite an inescapable death sentence. But there is word on the mountain that inside the Brigade there is a âtoutâ, an informer. He will be identified, interrogated, tortured, then hooded and shot. Gary Brennard, the MI5 field agent, and Parker, who runs the informer, have to protect their man at all costs: he is the critical asset to hold on to until the stakes are high enoughâŚand if the innocent step into the crossfire, thatâs just bad luck.
