Summary

An international criminal spells trouble for the agents of Britain’s Department Z, in this suspenseful mystery from an Edgar Award–winning author. 
 
Marius Krotz is notorious for his ability to cause a stir. A former revolutionary turned right-hand-man to the king of a small European country, he is feared as much for his unscrupulous manner as for his dangerous past. He’s planning something big, and intelligence agencies across Europe have him in their sights. 
 
Department Z is on the case, led by the infamous Arran twins and new recruit Jim Burke, and this time they’re pushed to their limits. Department Z must be prepared for unknown dangers beyond anything they have encountered before—and it’s a race to take down Krotz before he can cause irreversible international damage. 
 
Thunder has been rolling in Europe—but can Department Z avoid the lightning?

    When D.I. Mahoney is called to the scene of a ritualistic murder in southern Tasmania, he and his team must unlock the mind behind the murder before the killer can claim his next victim.  
    The theatrically staged crime scene confounds the detective as he quickly realizes that he’s faced with apprehending a psychotic, yet methodical killer. Although Mahoney is confident in the forensic and investigative arms of his Homicide Squad, he’s unsure that he has the necessary psychological insight to apprehend a murderer who seems so unhinged. 
    After a second ritual slaying, Mahoney makes the startling discovery that the victims come from a seemingly privileged upbringing and, that the killer is intent on squaring up with those who he sees as being unjustifiably advantaged. 
    In pursuit of a potential suspect, the detective finds that his quarry is relishing the cat and mouse game that the two are playing. Now, Mahoney must use every resource available to him if he is to end the killing spree of this dangerous psychopath... and if he is also to save one of his own.

    Nobody robs banks in Belfast without the IRA getting a cut—not even former Provo James "Ructions" O'Hare. But when word gets around O'Hare may be up to something, the pressure from the IRA begins. 
     
     
     
    Ructions trusts his crack squad of former paramilitary compadres, and has full confidence in his audacious plan: To literally empty the biggest bank in Belfast by kidnapping the families of two employees—known as a "tiger" kidnapping—in order to force them to help Ructions and his crew get into the bank's vault. 
     
     
     
    But keeping the plan—and the money—from the IRA is another plan entirely, one requiring all Ructions's cunning and skill. 
     
     
     
    In this stunning debut novel, as audacious and well-executed as Ructions's plan to rob the National Bank itself, Richard O'Rawe—a former IRA bank robber himself—unleashes a story that will shock, surprise, and thrill as he takes you on a white-knuckle ride through Belfast's criminal underbelly. Enter the deadly world of tiger kidnappings, kangaroo courts, money laundering, drug deals, and double-crosses.
