Master storyteller Jack Higgins displays all his customary skills and imagination in a heart-pounding adventure with a less familiar setting – 19th-century rural Ireland – and featuring a swashbuckling new hero.

Taking the guise of a legendary night-riding outlaw, he joins the fight against the landlords – and wages a rebellion of his own...
