Kin

<I><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>KIN</I> has been a long time coming for this author. It combines history with a terrific and tragic story of two brothers separated when they were young. One lives the life of a terrorist for the Irish Republican Army the other works as an agent for the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms and has to hunt his brother down. </P><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>The brothers also have a sister who is dying from cancer and her letters to her brother keep him walking a tightrope between the love for his family and his job of pursuing them at the same time. </P><I><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>KIN</I> contains at times heart-wrenching drama along with plenty of action and excitement. The one thing it does most of all is try to tell a story that covers both sides of the troubles Ireland has been plagued with for centuries. </P><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>There are no happy endings when it comes to an Irish story only realism and honesty. This is what the book accomplishes. </P>
