‘Lean prose, fast paced action, stout-black humour and a killer soundtrack combine in Maltman’s best thriller yet. Well worth hunting out: you’ll not be disappointed.’ Brian McGilloway, author of The Last Crossing

1999.

Michael Walker - former IRA soldier, turned MI5 informer - is living in hiding in rural America.
A robbery at Walker’s home leads to his rare copy of the Irish Declaration of Independence being sold online. This proves to be the first link in the chain leading to his location being revealed.

Walker’s life is plunged into peril, as an IRA hit squad - led by Marty Sullivan - is dispatched to eliminate him. Sullivan, a former comrade, is out for blood.

Against the political backdrop of a struggling peace process back home, Walker goes on the run across the state of Pennsylvania and forges unlikely allegiances to survive.

Walker seeks help from his former British handlers, but he should have known that any assistance must come at a price.

Walker will not just remain a victim. He must fight back.

The hunted must become the hunter.

Recommended for fans of Lee Child, Robert Crais and Robert B. Parker.
