Story
Martin Fallon was one of the legendary heroes of the Organisation. A fighter in his teens and a leader north of the border in his 20s. By the age of 40 he’d spent nine years in prison, turned to the bottle and almost turned his back on the gun. The trouble is, the war isn’t over. And everyone wants Fallon back. The Ulster Constabulary, who still have a king’s ransom on his head. His own colleagues, who use the dirtiest trick in the book to return their top operator to the front line.
Summary
Master storyteller Jack Higgins displays all his customary skills in a heart-pounding adventure with a less familiar setting - 19th-century rural Ireland - and featuring a swashbuckling new hero.
At the end of the American Civil War, Confederate Colonel Clay Fitzgerald escapes to Ireland, where his uncle has left him an estate, only to find that Ireland is caught up in a civil war of its own. The struggle between the wealthy landlords and the impoverished tenant farmers is growing in intensity, and having just fought and lost a terrible war, Clay wants to avoid the coming conflict. But after witnessing the atrocities that the landowners visit upon the people, Clay is unable to stand by. Taking the guise of a legendary night-riding outlaw, he joins the fight against the landlords - and wages a rebellion of his own....
