Inspector Peter McGarr takes on some very determined terrorists. Belfast 1971: a night of rioting leads to death and a terrifying imprisonment. Fifteen years later, one of the victims has devised a very public retribution—the target is the Reverend Ian Paisley, the personification of Ulster Protestant militancy. But when will the strike come... and how? As events in Dublin move toward a terrible zero hour, McGarr’s investigation of a rugby star’s murder develops dangerous political implications. The only clues are a damaged computer tape, an oversized customized hat, and a reel of film, and McGarr is forced to test his faith in Descartes’ methods of deduction against forces for whom deception and illusion are second nature. Can truth and logic triumph in time to stop an event that could trigger a civil war? “A staggeringly complex novel of suspense and detection... this is no mere installment in a formula detective series. Gill dares to play the real names, dates, and places.” —Boston Globe “Gill’s subject is political fanaticism, and he conveys it with all the force of literary art.” —Christian Science Monitor Book Review “Gill’s latest, McGarr and the Method of Descartes, is his
