RetailIn 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.ReviewExtract. Review by Joshua Keidan If this book was not a complete work of fiction, The Killer by Jack Elgos, would be an excellent biography.  The complete review can be read here redroom.com/member/joshua-keidan/blog/book-review-the-killer The Butcher Returns! 28 Sep 2012By davo rhinehartFormat:Kindle EditionExcellent second installment of what we know learn will be a trilogy.

Buy and read the first one too. And when they finally fall from your fingers, hopefully it will only be a short wait for the final of the series. The killer, 20 Dec 2012By Niall Devine Cracking read. When is book 3 released? Low on descriptive prose high on action, odd to be rooting for a killer. From the AuthorFiction + terrorism + betrayal + treachery and deceit = action, adventure, thrills and suspense.The concluding part of the men's adventure favorite: The Killer, book III.

Darren McCann is a small, young guy but in order to survive the violent streets of Belfast in the 1970s he learns to fight, and he fights well. The I.R.A are interested in him but, though he is of Catholic stock, he has no political affiliation and refuses to take sides until a family tragedy allies him with the cause . After specialist training he becomes an efficient sniper and freedom fighter but it is one night, and one interrogation, which earn him a reputation as The Butcher of Belfast and pair him with his infamous knife, The Killer. After a particularly high profile sniper kill he has to take refuge in Spain where he becomes involved with E.T.A terrorists at a training camp in the Basque country. He takes part in a daring raid and forms strong alliances with his new brethren. When the Provos, and an old friend, call on him again to work for them in Spain he performs his duty, but a moment of doubt makes him realise his home is now in the hills of Spain. He knows he will always fight against the establishment, but one British Government agent has other ideas.About the AuthorJack Elgos was born in the industrial north of England. He left school with no education to speak of and his handwriting is illegible to this day. He first joined the family firm but quickly became self-employed due to his independent spirit and a dislike of playing it safe. After the failure of his marriage he grew disillusioned with life in the UK and started to think about emigrating. A chance meeting with a woman of a similar mindset solidified the decision. Twenty years later they remain stubbornly unmarried and childless and have travelled the world, taking a chance at whatever came their way. From the strictly legal, through the definitely dodgy to the downright life threatening, they have enjoyed success and failure in equal measure. Thinking he might be pushing his luck, Jack turned to the computer keyboard as a way to make his writing legible and to earn a little safe money. He has built many websites and writes blogs under a variety of pseudonyms. Now in his fifties his experiences have inspired him to turn his hand to novels. Though his work is fiction, there will always be a little bit of truth in there. How much, he will not say.
