Escaping the sectarian carnage of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, Fiona Kavanagh has found sanctuary in the cool peace of Vancouver. Or so she believes until news of the breakout at the Maze prison brings back the destructive passions she thought she’d left behind.

The dazzling sequel to Pray for Us Sinners, Now and in the Hour of Our Death is a sprawling, fierce return to the world of Provo bomb-makers, the British agents stalking them and the bloody violence of Northern Ireland in the 1980s.
