The Journeyman Tailor
Gerald Seymour
Formats & Editions
In the villages and on the mountains of County Tyrone, in the heartland of the Provisional IRA's most active Brigade, the golden rules are 'hear nothing, see nothing, know nothing'. To collaborate with British Intelligence is to invite an inescapable death sentence.

Gary Brennard, the MI5 field agent, and Parker, who runs the informer, have to protect their man at all costs: he is the critical asset to hold on to until the stakes are high enough... and if the innocent step into the crossfire, that's just bad luck.
