Vivid Tale of Belfast Bank Robbery

Once I had read through the many conversations involving the planning of the robbery with its very colorful language, I became intrigued.
The suspense grew as I waited to see how the true relationships between the co-conspirators would be revealed and how the heist would play out.
I also learned something of the IRA groups about which I knew very little.
I also knew nothing of Belfast and Northern Ireland in general.
I am glad I read it as I do like mysteries and was very interested in the outcome involving the main characters. They became real to me and I liked the loyalty and friendship between them.
