From the Publisher:
The Russians trained him and planted him deep in the hosttest spot int he free world-Northern Ireland. He had the perfect cover and the perfect plan-to kill the most beloved man on earth.

Too late the Russians changed their minds. He was out of their control. Desperately the IRA tried to head him off. But he was even better than they at the undercover game. So Tony Villiers of British Intelligence had to do what he most hated. He had to have his Agency beg the help of Liam Devlin, former deadly foe and Irish terrorist, and the only one who could stop the ideal assassin before his victim unknowingly welcomed death with open arms.

Thanks so much for the book
And for the other surprise! :)

Ok, I have to admit that this Jack Higgins just isn't my style. I tried to get into it, but it was just so dated that I couldn't bring myself to read it.

Still, I did find some interesting nods to my irish culture classes: Cuchulain, that I first met in Angela's Ashes, and Michael Collins, probably the only film about a terrorist that I've ever enjoyed.

Thanks again for the book, Danesnboxers! :)

And because this is a travelling book, The Confessional is now on its way to Henk1977 who claimed the book in the Alternating Genres Bookrelay.
Enjoy!!

Received this in the mail yesterday. Thanks for sending it my way, syrin! It's going on my TBR pile.

Straightforward, old-fashioned thriller. Maybe not his best, but enjoyable altogether.
