Confessional – Jack Higgins

Description

Confessional by Jack Higgins is a gripping political thriller and the third instalment in the Liam Devlin series. Set against the turbulent backdrop of Northern Ireland, this high-stakes novel follows a deadly game of cat and mouse between British Intelligence, a ruthless assassin, and an Irish gunman with loyalties of his own. The assassin, known only by his codename Cuchulain, has been a ghostly figure in the region for over two decades, leaving a trail of violence and unrest in his wake.

Now, Cuchulain has set his sights on an audacious target — the assassination of the pope during a planned visit. Desperate to avert disaster, the British government turns to an unlikely ally: Liam Devlin, a former adversary and seasoned operative. Tasked with tracking and stopping the elusive killer, Devlin finds himself drawn deep into a deadly conspiracy, where old enemies, political tensions, and long-buried secrets collide.

A New York Times bestseller, Confessional is classic Jack Higgins — tautly plotted, fast-paced, and unputdownable. It’s perfect for fans of espionage thrillers, historical intrigue, and readers who enjoy morally complex heroes navigating treacherous political landscapes.
