Seventy Times Seven

THE SCORCHING DEBUT THRILLER FROM ACCLAIMED ACTOR JOHN GORDON SINCLAIR.

Danny McGuire doesn’t like his job, but he’s good at it. Since his brother’s murder eight years earlier he has become a professional killer: a hit man for hire, bent on retribution.

The Job
Danny’s been contracted to eliminate the ‘Thevshi’ – the Ghost – the most elusive informant that has ever penetrated the Republican movement in Northern Ireland. But there’s a problem: the Thevshi claims to know who’s responsible for his brother’s death. Danny’s never killed someone he needed to talk to first.

The Target
When Finn O’Hanlon (A.K.A. the Thevshi) is attacked in a bar in Alabama he realises that his past has finally caught up with him. Forced to flee, he embarks on a desperate journey to find Danny McGuire before it’s too late.

The Complication
But Danny and Finn are up against someone who’s spent years hiding a secret, and it’s a secret they’ll go to any lengths to protect.
