The Ghosts of Belfast by Stuart Neville
3.0
This novel is a non-stop action thrill ride. It will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole entire time!
The premise is fairly simple. A man, haunted by the ghosts of his past, seeks revenge for said ghosts on the men who ordered him to kill. What drew me to the novel originally was the setting. The story is set in Northern Ireland, sometime after 9/11 happened. They story's roots though are in the past, during the Troubles between Northern Ireland, the Irish Republic, and England.
I will offer a small piece of advice for anyone tackling this book. Make sure you have a refernce book on the Itrish Troubles handy. If for nothing else than to know the slang for the different fighting groups.
