About The Journeyman Tailor
In the villages and on the mountains of County Tyrone, in the heartland of the Provisional IRA's most active Brigade, the golden rule is 'hear nothing, see nothing, know nothing'. To collaborate with British Intelligence is to invite an inescapable death sentence. But there is word on the mountain that inside the Brigade there is a 'tout', an informer. He will be identified, interrogated, tortured, then hooded and shot. Gary Brennard, the MI5 field agent, and Parker, who runs the informer, have to protect their man at all costs: he is the critical asset to hold on to until the stakes are high enough…and if the innocent step into the crossfire, that's just bad luck. "The pace is relentless…With such writing Seymour deservedly ranks among today's top thriller authors"MICHAEL DOVE, 'Sunday Express' "Mr Seymour wields a controlled, formidable style, suited to the savage loyalties and treacheries which he describes. I found myself not only gripped, but unexpectedly moved"DOUGLAS HURD, 'Daily Telegraph' "The three British masters of suspense, Graham Greene, Eric Amber and John le Carré, have been joined by a fourth – Gerald Seymour"NEW YORK TIMES "The telling of the story is first-class, but the message carries a foreboding of doom"SEAN CONWAY, 'Irish Press'
