Author Description

To people like Jessica Roberts and Rory Collins, the bloody, unfolding story of their native Northern Ireland is no more than a somber background to their day-to-day existence.They are young, well-to-do, and attractive. When they fall in love the fact that Jessica is a Protestant and Rory is a Catholic is irrelevant - such things are simply not a problem in their world.But they are wrong.Jessica's father is a powerful business figure in the Province, while Rory's - now dead - had a reputation for involvement with the Republican cause.Worse still, Jessica is already involved with a shadowy Englishman called Martin Parr.With appalling speed their certainties begin to crumble in bigotry and violence, as they become caught up in Other People's Blood...'Other People's Blood' is a terrifyingly realistic thriller of romance, terrorism, family and betrayal. It is perfect for fans of Gerald Seymour and Robert Harris.'The tale of two young people whose life is shredded by the Troubles is all too credible. The exposure of lies, betrayals and hypocrisy - personal and political - is challenging.' Belfast Telegraph'Full of steamy scenes, hatred, lust, snobbishness and all uncharitableness, it proceeds inexorably to its savage conclusion.' Irish Independent'Blood and violence - and sex - there is in plenty, also some fine writing and a genuine feel for the reality of that poor, benighted part of the country.'
