About this listen

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....

Critic Reviews

"Absorbing from beginning to end... the sort of book that makes you lose track of time" ( New York Times)
"Devastatingly good...you can smell the mean streets where the terrorists hide" ( Spectator)

Enjoyed the story, but the narrator made it so much better. Well read and different voices made it easier to follow along with who's talking.

A good story, an exceptional narrator!

In some parts it was overly descriptive. Yes a scene has to be set but i found it a bit boring nearer the end. Gerald Seymour is my favourite fictional author. I have most of his books and Harry's Game was my first book of his over 25 years ago so maybe my taste has changed a bit since then or maybe i skipped the dead bits?
At first i liked Harry but now i found the character flawed. I can say that the first few chapters - where Billy boy starts the book off was brilliant!
anyway, i enjoyed it up to a point. Narration was ok

Enjoyed it but...
