It was all too frighteningly familiar. For the second time in his life, Alex Penn wakes up in an alcoholic daze in a cheap hotel room off Times Square and finds himself lying next to the savagely mutilated body of a young woman. After the first death, he was convicted of murder and imprisoned, then released on a technicality. But this time he has to find out what happened during the blackout and why, before the police do.

After the assassination of his wife and son, Gabriel Allon retires from his brutal anti-terrorist career and loses himself in his previous cover job: art restoration. But when Tariq al-Hourani, the Palestinian terrorist responsible for his family’s death, begins a killing spree designed to destroy Middle East peace talks, Gabriel once again slips into the shadowy world of international intrigue. In a global game of hide-and-seek, the motives of Gabriel and Tariq soon become more personal than political.

Entertaining
Pete is one of my favorite writers. I found this entertaining, if not as fulfilling as his other works. It passed the time nicely

Plot has an interesting 70's Irish backdrop.
Good story. Hamill brings together a reporter, the IRA, northern Ireland, and southern U.S Jesus freaks in a way I didn't expect.

The IRA is alive and well in NY
Hamill drops us into the middle of adventure. Sam Briscoe is our protagonist and he’s a man down on his luck. His wife left him and his kid is in some boarding school in Europe. Lucky for Briscoe he’s a first generation American, and has family in Ireland - where thanks to the IRA there’s a story. He gets his paper to pay his way to Europe to cover the story, and on his return trip home he works it out so he has a lay over near his daughter and can see her.
The fucking oppressive British, unethical behavior on Briscoe’s part, gangsters, kidnapping - and as always, murder most foul. Briscoe meets a high ranking member of the IRA and agrees to bring a letter back to NY. Next thing we know he’s being followed across countries and oceans. There are fist fights, and car chases and explosions; double and triple crosses and some bland sexy scenes.
If the story had stayed in Europe and focused on Ireland and the IRA it would most likely have been the five star story it started out as. Instead were brought back to New York, Irish Americans, love of the old country, and the weight of it all fades even as the sex and the violence kick up a notch.
It’s fine. But that’s it. Fine. I wanted to read the plight of the oppressed Irish throughout. I wanted this to be about a reporter who got sucked back into old family grudges and debts, but instead it became another detective noir. Which is fine. I just wanted more Ireland and proper IRA, none of this watered down American idealist IRA.
