In the Name of the Father is a gripping and fast-paced novel that tells the story of the IRA bombing of British Airways Flight 103, and the ensuing investigation that led to the capture and trial of the terrorists. The novel is written in the first person by Detective Chief Inspector John Christie, who was the lead investigator on the case. Christie is a complex and compelling character who is both heroic and flawed, and the novel is populated with a colorful cast of characters, including the terrorists themselves, their victims, and the police and intelligence officers who worked on the case. Quinnell tells the story with an expert hand, and In the Name of the Father is a compelling and suspenseful read that will leave readers eager for the next installment in the Christie series.; 8vo; 324 pages.
