This story takes place in Ireland during the 1919s. Ireland is seething with violence, tension and divided loyalties.The primary character is the lovely, independent and willful young heiress, Catherine O'Connell-Gort.  Catherine is a fervent supporter of Sinn Fein, and the secret lover of Sean Brennan, an IRA volunteer who is being hunted by the police for terrorism and murder.Her father is a colonel in British Military Intelligence and recruits Major Andrew Butler, battle-scarred war hero to assassinate IRA leader Michael Collins.There are many other interesting characters involving police investigators, Sinn Fein members, Military personnel, spies and counter spies. I found myself actually liking even the characters who were supposed to be bad. I couldn't decide who I really liked and who I didn't or what I wished may happen to them.The one thing I can say for sure, it that I never could out guess the author and figure out what was going to happen next. The book held me in complete surprise even at the end.Great story and great read.
