New Bites: Seventy Times Seven by John Gordon Sinclair

Seventy Times Seven is the debut thriller by the acclaimed actor John Gordon Sinclair.



Danny McGuire doesn’t like his job, but he’s good at it. Since his
brother’s  murder eight years earlier he has become a professional
killer: a hit man for hire, bent on retribution.




The Job



Danny’s been contracted to eliminate the ‘Thevshi’ – the Ghost – the
most elusive informant that has ever penetrated the Republican movement
in Northern Ireland. But there’s a problem: the Thevshi claims to know
who’s responsible for his brother’s death. Danny’s never killed someone
he needed to talk to first.





The Target



When Finn O’Hanlon (A.K.A. the Thevshi) is attacked in a bar in Alabama
he realises that his past has finally caught up with him. Forced to
flee, he embarks on a desperate journey to find Danny McGuire before
it’s too late.





The Complication

 

But Danny and Finn are up against someone who’s spent years hiding a
secret, and it’s a secret they’ll go to any lengths to protect.
