"This is a novel of brutal, gory serial murder set amid the sectarian violence of northern Ireland. DCI Cross of the Belfast police, a Catholic British man married to a Protestant Irish woman, is an inspector investigating homicide cases. The hit-and-run death of a man--smashed beyond recognition but found to have been already dead--leads Cross into a world of religious hatred and fanaticism, of both IRA and Protestant terrorism. Set in 1985, the novel, often switches back in time to 1972, where we see a young man developing the knowledge that he was born to be a hired killer. The moral landscape is full of deception and treachery, and just when you think you know what somebody stands for, you find it's all a lie...." Library Journal.
