Cathedral by Nelson Demille
March 17 is a day when everyone in New York is an honorary Irishman. Everyone except IRA man Brian Flynn. Hailing from a province steeped in the heat and hatred of a brutal conflict, he brings his own agenda to the celebrations. For Brian has masterminded a brilliant terrorist act: the seizure of New York's St Patrick's Cathedral. Among his hostages, the woman he once loved. The cops face a perfectly laid out killing zone inside the church. The hostages face death. Flynn faces his own demons in an electrifying duel of nerves, honour and betrayal.
'A bulldozer of a book, expertly, relentlessly terrifying' Cosmopolitan. 'It is a book which grips from the opening words ... a hugh enthralling novel.' Manchester Evening News. 'Chillingly believable, peopled with recognizable characters. Cathedral entertains with the unimaginable.' Publishers Weekly. 'Strong, long, well-sustained suspense ... a chaotic, explosive finale.' Kirkus Reviews
