From the Publisher:
Reissue of the timeless Higgins classic...
Martin Fallon was one of the legendary heroes of the Organisation. A fighter in his teens, and a leader north of the border in his twenties. By the age of forty he'd spent nine years in prison, turned to the bottle and almost turned his back on the gun.

The trouble is, the war isn't over. And everyone wants Fallon back

The Ulster Constabulary, who still have a king's ransom on his head. His own colleagues, who use the dirtiest trick in the book to return their top operator to the front line. And a beautiful woman named Anne Murray: the only confessor to the demons that a terrorist like Fallon will carry to the grave.

Jack Higgins: Cry of the Hunter (USA 2010)

From the Publisher:
From the New York Times-bestselling author of The Eagle Has Landed: A hero of the IRA must turn on his own people to save his country.

Martin Fallon is a legend. After joining the IRA he shot up the ranks in the fight against the Brits in Northern Ireland with his tactical brilliance and devotion. Then, after a daring escape from prison, he simply disappeared. And that's the way he wants it to stay. After years of hiding from the world in his books and the bottle, he thinks he's out.

He's wrong.

The IRA wants him to break Patrick Rogan, a high-ranking Ulster rebel, out of prison. Fallon reluctantly agrees, and soon finds himself swept back into the Troubles. But in his absence, the IRA has changed. Gone are those who wanted freedom, replaced by those like Rogan -- bloodthirsty psychopaths who want nothing but power. And now Fallon must bring his own legend to life in order to bring them down.

In one of his earliest works, Jack Higgins puts on display the absolute mastery of the thriller genre that would earn him a place among the most respected novelists of the twentieth century.
