βThe bell rings at midnight, as death requires it.β β Irish proverb
From βthe dean of intrigue novelistsβ (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) comes a knife-edge story of terrorism and revenge.
In Ulster, Northern Ireland, a petty criminal kills a woman in a drunken car crash. Her sons swear revenge.
In London, Sean Dillon and his colleagues in the βPrime Ministerβs private army,β fresh from defeating a deadly al-Qaeda operation, receive a warning: You may think you have weakened us, but you have only made us stronger.
In Washington, D.C., a special projects director with the CIA, frustrated at not getting permission from the President for his daring anti-terrorism plan, decides to put it in motion anyway. He knows heβs right β the nation will thank him later.
Soon, the ripples from these events will meet and overlap, creating havoc in their wake. Desperate men will act, secrets will be revealed β and the midnight bell will toll.
Filled with event, driven by characters of complexity and passion, The Midnight Bell is a remarkable novel from the βarchitect of the modern thrillerβ (The Huffington Post).
