CRY OF THE HUNTER
 
Inside the mind of a terrorist -
a classic episode from the IRA's
dirty and dangerous undercover war ...

 
Martin Fallon was one of the legendary heroes of the Organization. A
fighter in his teens, and a leader north of the border in his twenties. By
the age of forty he'd spent nine years in prison, turned to the bottle and
almost turned his back on the gun.
 
But 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. And a beautiful woman called Anne Murray.
The only confessor to the demons that a terrorist like Fallon will carry
to the grave ...
