Sooner or later, everybody pays - and the dead will set the price...Former paramilitary killer Gerry Fegan is haunted by his victims, twelve souls who shadow his every waking day and scream through every drunken night. Just as he reaches the edge of sanity they reveal their desire: vengeance on those who engineered their deaths. Greedy politicians, corrupt security forces, street thugs and bystanders who let it happen must all pay the price. As Fegan's vendetta threatens to derail Northern Ireland's peace process and destabilise its fledgling government, old comrades and enemies alike want him gone. Double agent David Campbell, with his own reasons for eliminating Fegan, takes the job. The secrets of a dirty war should stay buried, even if its ghosts do not.
