In Connection with Kilshaw

by Peter Driscoll

British Intelligence veteran Harry Finn is sent to Ireland to kill James Campbell Kilshaw, a Protestant extremist leader. This decision, reluctantly arrived at, is expected to defuse a highly flammable situation and avert a full-scale civil war.

As the threat grows with each passing hour, Finn is caught up in the ancient conflict and soon realizes that even he as an outsider must prepare to fight for his life.

"Driscoll is a good writer and a baffling entertainer, and he has us at his mercy all the way." (The New Yorker)

Reviews

[Rad]

‚Umarli nie zdradzają’ to historia brytyjskiego agenta Harrego Finna, zaplątanego w szalonym świecie katolicko - protestanckich konfliktów w dwudziestowiecznej Irlandii. Finnowi zostaje zlecone z pozoru proste zadanie, które jednak przysporzy mu wiele problemów.
Książka ta to przede wszystkim szybka akcja z dużą dawką przemocy. Znajdziemy tutaj ciekawych bohaterów i wiele nieoczekiwanych zwrotów akcji, dzięki czemu napięcie utrzymuje się aż do końca.
Bardzo przyjemna to była lektura.

Miłego dnia.
