Place in the Sun (Mike Balmayne Trilogy Book 2)

This novel is set in Northern Ireland in 1994 as a fragile peace process began. Previous attempts had failed and many hard-liners thought this one would too. A dissident member of the Continuity IRA decides to carry on the fight in a unique way. The methods he intends to employ, on a large scale, look certain to bring Britain to its knees. The task for the various elements of the security forces is to discover what his intentions are and when and where they will be enacted. Their efforts are constantly thwarted by the ingenuity of the main protagonist who is unwittingly assisted by Mike Balmayne. Mike finds his own loyalties are tested to the very end.
