In certain Irish families, the hatred for the English is passed on with mother's milk, the bitterness and grudges stored and nurtured for generations. The really extremist groups seem to be those of immigrants to other countries where these old hatreds are used to raise money for weapons and to promote extremist causes. In Montana, USA, such families exist and a secret group of them is recruited to help in any way possible, legal and illegal, to liaise with a Dublin bases organisation, intent on assassinating the Prince of Wales.
Sky McPherson is a reporter with the local paper in her small town in Montana, and is trying to wangle an interview with a wealthy and reclusive businessman whose wife has been killed in a car accident. When a tall, handsome Irish stranger rides into town, she is swept off her feet romantically and begins a red hot affair with him. The main body of the story consists of murder, threats, espionage and all the usual everyday stuff, but what soured it for me was the sheer stupidity of Sky, a supposedly intelligent and beautiful girl in her thirties, who blurts out whatever comes into her mind without thinking of the consequences, and who just made me want to shake her and tell her to grow up!
