They Told Me You Were Dead

(In Belfast a young British lieutenant, Jonathan Norris, is killed by five rounds from an M60 machine gun. One more bald statistic to add to the mounting toll of death on the streets of Northern Ireland. For trusted IRA gunner Patrick Donnelly, another notch on his rifle, another successful mission. He assumes the soldier s life is ended. He is wrong. Those fatal bullets push Jonathan s father, Richard, beyond the brink of despair. He craves a punishment more lasting than execution. With deadly stealth, Norris begins to track the assassin, slowly assembling the elements which will make his revenge complete... Across Ireland, England and America, James Daniel s powerful debut thriller follows the aftermath of a killing and the lethal madness it provokes.)
