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.
Masterful descriptions of addicts craving a fix and drug induced paranoia and hallucinations, as well as the fear and doubt felt by someone who suspects wrongdoing by respected people. Unfortunately the characters came across more like caricatures than real people, and the plot was not credible. In real life, all the good people who are put in danger would be harmed, not saved at the last minute.
