About this title

From Publishers Weekly:

Armstrong's topnotch thriller gets off with a bang as wealthy American supporters of the IRA are shocked out of their complacency when the distant war comes to their own homeground. The theft of $10 million bound for the Cause provokes the secret army's inner circle to send out its most reliable man, the nameless, faceless Jig, an unerring terrorist who avoids harming the innocent. Following a tip that one of the key American fundraisers is responsible, Jig becomes a detective, like his opposite number, British cop Frank Pagan, who dogs his heels. Also over here, by unlikely coincidence, is a rabble-rousing Protestant minister from Belfast who is playing his own violent game. Individually, many of the characters and actions are cliches and stereotypes but Armstrong weaves a web of broken and yearning family ties, both real and metaphoric, that will draw readers in and speed them through the maze.

From Library Journal:

In Colwin's latest novel, echoes of the themes of Happy All the Time (LJ 9/15/78) are apparent, but they just don't work quite as well now as in 1978. We watch the progress of Geraldine Coleshares' life, from mediocre graduate student to rock 'n' roll backup singer to wife and mother. She seems happily married to Johnny Miller, a lawyer but a music fanatic at heart. She worries (but not too much) about what she is doing with her life, and what it all means. Fortunately for Geraldine, she has the leisure to consider these issues without having to worry about family finances, etc. Enjoyable light reading that doesn't have much to do with today's real life. For larger popular fiction collections. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 1/1/90.
