Second novel in the Edward Mainwaring series and an uncommon,sought after title within it. 'Field of Blood' is the manic and vicious battleground that is Belfast.The combat lines are drawn by four centuries of history.There are no Conventions to protect those that stray into the crossfire. There is no quarter for David Ferris,a British Lieutenant,'volunteered' into a cruel front line by his chance involvement with McAnally; he will become a named target.There is no mercy for Roisin McAnally as she struggles to care for her children in a heartland of violence.There is no cynical risk that cannot be justified by the IRA chief of the Belfast Brigade,or by his enemy,Detective Chief Inspector Howard Rennie.On the Field the fight begins for McAnally's loyalty. Through him,the stakes are going to be raised to include the survival of the whole command structure of the Provisional IRA in Belfast.There is going to be heartbreak; there is going to be death. Ten years after the publication of 'Harry's Game',an international best-seller which became a prize-winning television film,Gerald Seymour has returned to Belfast with a story more painful and topical than anything he has written before. His reputation as one of our toughest thriller writers is assured.
