Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

From the "the dean of intrigue novelists" ( St. Louis Post-Dispatch ) comes a New York Times -bestselling novel of terrorism and revenge featuring IRA-hitman-turned-intelligence-operative Sean Dillon...

" The bell rings at midnight, as death requires it." --Irish proverb

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 "Prime Minister's private army," 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 he's right--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--and the midnight bell will toll.
