Northern Heist

De: Richard O’Rawe

Narrado por: John Keating

Nobody robs banks in Belfast without the IRA getting a cut—not even former Provo James "Ructions" O'Hare. But when word gets around O'Hare may be up to something, the pressure from the IRA begins.

Ructions trusts his crack squad of former paramilitary compadres, and has full confidence in his audacious plan: To literally empty the biggest bank in Belfast by kidnapping the families of two employees—known as a "tiger" kidnapping—in order to force them to help Ructions and his crew get into the bank's vault.

But keeping the plan—and the money—from the IRA is another plan entirely, one requiring all Ructions's cunning and skill.

In this stunning debut novel, as audacious and well-executed as Ructions's plan to rob the National Bank itself, Richard O'Rawe—a former IRA bank robber himself—unleashes a story that will shock, surprise, and thrill as he takes you on a white-knuckle ride through Belfast's criminal underbelly. Enter the deadly world of tiger kidnappings, kangaroo courts, money laundering, drug deals, and double-crosses.
