Summary
A British cabinet minister is gunned down on a London street by an IRA assassin. In the wake of national outcry, the authorities must find the hitman. But the trail is long cold, the killer gone to ground in Belfast, and they must resort to more unorthodox methods to unearth him. Ill prepared and poorly briefed, undercover agent Harry Brown is sent into the heart of enemy territory to infiltrate the terrorists. But when it is a race against the clock, mistakes are made and corners cut. For Harry Brown, alone in a city of strangers, where an intruder is the subject of immediate gossip and rumour, one false move is enough to leave him fatally isolated....

it was grand
found this book a great listen. it isnt too complicated which meant i was able to listen in to it while i was at work and not get lost in the story.
it was also interesting enough to make me want to listen to it outside of work while doing real world stuff.
good listen.

What goes around, comes around
I have been living in the republic of Ireland for 11 years now. It is the most peaceful, gentle place I have ever lived in. My experience of the Irish people is that they are kind, considerate and have a great sense of community. To read about how a bunch of bullies can distort a community and destroy peoples trust in each other was heartbreaking. Reading about Northern Ireland reminded me of Nazi Germany, neighbors informing on each other and people scared to have an opinion. I found this book fascinating, honest and poignant. It was a good read and one that haunts me still. I find myself reflecting back on certain chapters wishing I could re-write them with a happier ending. This one will stay with me.

Very real, fiction written around reality.
What made the experience of listening to Harry's Game the most enjoyable?
I read this book when it was first published and the subject was current and in some ways a bit politically taboo, but I've listened to it several times since. It's not dated and it still engages me even though I know the story. It's well written and the performed is excellent.
A difficult subject written from a completely neutral stand point. The characters all have depth and the book makes you feel for both sides, their struggles become very real regardless of your belief.
The story may be fiction, but not so far from the reality of the time its set in. I think the story comes over so very real and the author captures the time perfectly, but I expect this was helped as he was reporting the real news during these difficult time.
This book make no political statements and is not a war story, or shoot 'em up. It's a really good drama. Give it a go, you'll be surprised.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Harry
What about John O'Mahoney’s performance did you like?
John O'Mahoney bring the sorry to life and his accent and consistency made for a great performance.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes,
Any additional comments?
If you watched the TV adaption of this book (which they'd never show now days) don't just pass the book over. The TV series was good, but not a patch on the book. The is far more engaging.
If you like this "The Journeyman Tailor" is a must.

Fantastic
This book has been one of my favourites but this reading brought it to life. The narrator brought all the individual characters alive with brilliant sections of dialogue. His rendition of the whole gamut of accents deserves an Oscar. This is a book that should be read by everyone interested in the stupidity of aggression. It shows in a truly compassionate and dramatic way the sad consequences to all involved when fanaticism runs riot. No one is in the right and no one is in the wrong but the consequences for those involved and those on the perifery is tragic. This Audible version will be one I will listen too over and over again.

A journey back in time
This book takes you back to a time where life was more simple but so cruel and shocking. It’s a well written book with a story where there is no winner thoroughly enjoyed listening to this.
