To survive the violent streets of Belfast in the 1970s, young Darren McCann learns to fight. The IRA are interested in recruiting him but, though he is a Catholic, he refuses to take sides until a family tragedy allies him with "the cause". His specialist training turns him into an efficient sniper and covert operative. One brutal interrogation earns Darren the reputation as "The Butcher of Belfast" and pairs him with his infamous knife, The Killer. After a high profile assassination, he takes refuge in Spain where he works with ETA terrorists and takes part in an audacious bank raid. He returns to Ireland to continue the fight, but the seeds of doubt are planted in his mind by a British MI6 officer with shocking information and plans to turn him into a double-agent.

#1 Kindle bestselling author Jack Elgos presents... The Killer III: The Final Reckoning In the conclusion of this epic trilogy, The Killer III: The Final Reckoning sees former IRA hitman Darren McCann seeking vengeance for the brutal murder of his Ma. Now going under the name of Liam O'Neil and working for the British Government, Liam knows he is ultimately just a pawn between the IRA and the Brits, and dreams of taking his Catalan mistress Montse out of the reach of both. However this dream must be put on hold until the men who signed his Ma's death warrant are killed. His quest takes him back to old comrades in the Basque terrorist training camps, his Irish homeland and military bases in the UK. In his inimitable style, Elgos captures the political and human aspects of The Troubles in a fast-paced Pulp-Fiction style novel, while painting believable and likeable characters that draws the reader in from page one. Reviews for The Killer: "Absolutely great. From the first word you are hooked." Chris Brandler, Amazon "Jack Elgos is a wordsmith. Characters jump out of the pages and the plot truly bowled me over and sent shivers down my spine. Engaging, thought-provoking while simultaneously page-turning, this is an instant classic." George Steptoe, Amazon

In this action-packed revenge thriller, Darren McCann - the Butcher of Belfast - is back with the mission to avenge the brutal murder of his mother. Trained by the I.R.A., turned by MI6 - the operation takes him to America to track down the hard men funding the Republicans back home in Ireland. A weekend that would exhaust Jason Bourne sees him make new friends and plenty of enemies in the notorious Hell's Kitchen. Later taskings in Ireland and Scotland allow him to excel at what he does best - killing. During a trip to Spain to take on a cell of suicide bombers he falls in love, but all is not what it seems. This second instalment of the best-selling The Killer Trilogy sees Darren develop as a character. He begins to question the motives of those in power, but all the time faces his enemies with his usual wit and trusty knife The Matador. REVIEWS FROM THE KILLER: "This is the fastest paced book I have ever read. I kept thinking I would come to a point where I could put it down for the evening, but that never happened." Janie, Amazon.com "Is there no way to put 6 stars on Amazon. I'm going to write to the management. I literally could not put this book down. Gripped me from Page 1 and read it through in one chunk." Jan Vance, Amazon.co.uk "This fast-paced chronicle of death and double-cross kept me glued to my seat from first page till last..." Clifford Thurlow, author of Making A Killing.
