Publisher Description
St. Patrick's Day, New York City. Everyone is celebrating, but everyone is in for the shock of his life. Born into the heat and hatred of the Northern Ireland conflict, IRA man Brian Flynn has masterminded a brilliant terrorist act the seizure of Saint Patrick's Cathedral. Among his hostages: the woman Brian Flynn once loved, a former terrorist turned peace activist. Among his enemies: an Irish-American police lieutenant fighting against a traitor inside his own ranks and a shadowy British intelligence officer pursuing his own cynical, bloody plan. The cops face a booby-trapped, perfectly laid out killing zone inside the church. The hostages face death. Flynn faces his own demons, in an electrifying duel of nerves, honor, and betrayal.
Customer Reviews
Cathedral review
Like all DeMille books this one reads smoothly. The author displays his uncanny knack for clever dialogue without the sarcastic wit of his later novels. Perhaps the most telling sign of the quality of the writing is that this book is not dated so many years after it was written.
Dreadful2
Too many characters to remember. Story line was too far fetched. If you never went to St. Patrick’s Cathedral it was very confusing what the author was describing about the structure and his terminology. Very disappointing.
