In the stormy seas of Galway Bay, Jim Predergast and his treasured yacht Larinita are doing their best to compete in a local race. After a boating accident that kills his wife and daughter, Jim embarks on a personal quest for revenge which leads him on a dark journey involving IRA gun-running and an international terrorist plot of major proportions aimed at destroying the peace talks once and for all. Foote’s highly literate and tightly plotted debut novel heralds a new and exciting voice in thriller/suspense fiction.
“Touching on such hot topics as the peace process in Northern Ireland, international terrorism and political assassination, this debut suspense thriller makes a solid read for fans of the genre.”
