Everyone is celebrating, but everyone is in for the shock of their lives. Born into the heat and hatred of the Northern Ireland conflict, IRA man Brian Flynn has masterminded a brilliant terrorist act &#8211; the seizure of Saint Patrick&#8217;s Cathedral. Among his hostages: the woman Brian Flynn once loved, a former terrorist turned peace activist. Among his enemies: an Irish-American police lieutenant fighting against a traitor inside his own ranks and a shadowy British intelligence officer pursuing his own cynical, bloody plan. The cops face a booby-trapped, perfectly laid out killing zone inside the church. The hostages face death. Flynn faces his own demons, in an electrifying duel of nerves, honor, and betrayal\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mvqzid7i-3448fb2ca4eadfa52215c6d30ab50c59\">\n.avia-buttonrow-wrap.av-mvqzid7i-3448fb2ca4eadfa52215c6d30ab50c59 .avia-button{\npadding:15px 15px 15px 15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-buttonrow-wrap av-mvqzid7i-3448fb2ca4eadfa52215c6d30ab50c59 avia-buttonrow-left  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mvqzfin2-f4fad1035d501b87902a08fda52b7f36\">\n#top #wrap_all .avia-button.av-mvqzfin2-f4fad1035d501b87902a08fda52b7f36{\nmargin-bottom:5px;\nmargin-right:5px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<a href='http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/0385281242\/nelsondemille-20'  class='avia-button av-mvqzfin2-f4fad1035d501b87902a08fda52b7f36 avia-icon_select-no avia-size-small avia-color-theme-color'  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"  aria-label=\"Buy Now\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Buy Now<\/span><\/a>\n<\/div><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1658,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1657","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-books","category-stand-alone-novels"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
