When Kenny Kincaid turned his back on the past, he had no idea of the legacy he was bequeathing his only son, Ian. Was he escaping the Irish paramilitaries – too much violence and bloodshed, too many victims? Or was he betraying the Cause, turning his back on his comrades-in-arms, when he fled clutching his only son and a quarter of a million pounds from a bank job? They think so, and they’re intent on revenge. Years later, Kenny is still a target – and now so is Ian. Father and son are going to have to live with it… or die with it. A controversial and compulsive thriller set against the fallout of the Northern Irish Troubles.
