From the back cover: New York: Veteran Detective Eddie Lucco can't dismiss the beautiful dead junkie he's just tried to resuscitate, a girl no more than eighteen, somebody's daughter. He must find out who she was, and how she turned up dead at Grand Central... even if it means going to the source of the cocaine that killed her...

London: David Jardine, the urbane and crafty head of the Secret Intelligence Service's South American operations, is determined to plant an informer in Cololmbia's most dangerous drug cartel, even if it means travelling to the mouth of hell itself...

Dublin: Justice Eugene Pearson is an ambitious politician and a secret leader of the terrorist Provisional Irish Republican Army. But what Pearson holds dearest is in the hands of the people he loathes most on earth. He must get her back... even if it means playing games that are way over his head...

Welcome to the tangled world of DEVIL'S JUGGLER, a smashing debut novel that propels us with nonstop excitement from the grittiness of the NYPD into the realms of the IRA, the Colombian cocaine cartels, and the British SIS-- places where no betrayal stays secret for long.

Rich, authentic, and vibrant with brilliantly realized characters, DEVIL'S JUGGLER spins Eddie Lucco into the orbit of the eccentric David Jardine, the spider whose web ensnares the others in the violent climax of this extraordinary, superbly entertaining work of fiction.
