Editor's Notes and Comments:
Brief Book Summary:
From the No. 1 bestselling author of Cold Steel and Final Duty, comes his most ambitious and gripping thriller yet.
Scott Nolan's life is shattered one wintry Dublin morning when his young wife Laura is brutally murdered on her way to work. Scott, an Irish-American doctor is devastated, the more so since he realizes that the bullets had been meant for him, as payback for his involvement in the government's anti-drug campaign. In a desperate endeavor to claim his life back and to find the man responsible for his wife's death, Scott partners up with Laura's brother, Mark Higgins. Together they begin to infiltrate the drug scene. Snatching dealers from the street, they administer interrogation narcotics to them so as to gather intelligence and compile names from the Irish drug cartel.
Bit by bit, names emerge: Patrick Mulligan, an ex-drug squad detective, and his henchman, Sean Kennedy. Although the government's fierce anti-drug campaign temporarily put them out of business, they are now engaged in the final stages of an operation that will set them up for life. But they are hearing strange stories of dealers disappearing, and turning up a few days later, disoriented and unable to remember where they've been.

Dr. Scott Nolan and his wife Laura leave America for him to practice medicine Dublin. They are a loving couple and look forward to a long life together. Everything collapses when Laura is killed during an errant shot, which targeted Ireland's anti-drug Justice Minister, Harry Power.
Serene before he became a widower, an angry grieving Scott wants vengeance against the chief assassin. His also upset brother-in-law, Irish Police Officer Mark Higgins agrees to help him uncover the identity of the chief plotter who arranged the murder of an innocent out of avarice. Senior police officer, Commissioner Peter Cunningham and Power agree to blink while Nolan and Higgins abduct drug dealers so that the former can use his medical skills to extract information leading to the kingpin.
This is an exciting thriller that will remind readers of Clancy's Patriot Game. The story line is fast-paced and filled with action from the moment the innocent Laura is gunned down and never slows down until a final confrontation with a major twist on the way to the altercation. Although a stretch wider than the Blarney Stone, this is a fun thriller in which the end justifies the mean.
