About this audiobook

A modern classic from one of the great thriller writers of our era.

In the villages and on the mountains of County Tyrone, in the heartland of the Provisional IRA’s most active Brigade, the golden rule is ‘Hear nothing, see nothing, know nothing’. To collaborate with British Intelligence is to invite an inescapable death sentence. But there is word on the mountain that inside the Brigade there is a ‘tout’, an informer. He will be identified, interrogated, tortured, then hooded and shot. Gary Brennard, the MI5 field agent, and Parker, who runs the informer, have to protect their man at all costs: he is the critical asset to hold on to until the stakes are high enough…and if the innocent step into the crossfire, that’s just bad luck.

    Unfortunately, 5 stars is all I can give 'The Journeyman Tailor'.... it deserves a few more. Great writing by a master in an intricately plotted, entirely believable story combine to become a novel that is now on my 'all-time favorites' shelf. I can't believe it hasn't been made into a movie.....

    The setting is the era of the 'Troubles' in Ireland. A master IRA assassin is on the run and heads for England, while the entire machinery of Great Britain's military and police is on the hunt. The story, though, is on the micro-level, with a hyper-focused young lady spychaser and her newly assigned assistant working with an informant to lure the assassin back to his home in order to bring him to justice. Moral dilemmas abound, the tradecraft and procedural descriptions are first rate, the action is frighteningly credible, and the heroine leaves an indelible mark on everyone she meets. And did I mention the writing? First class.....

    All in all, an excellent novel by a true master of his craft. An incredible book!
