Overview

It's January 1974. Jonny, a studious schoolboy with an Irish Catholic mother and Muslim father, is intrigued by who shot Edward Sieff of M&S. During his researches he falls in love with Agatha, an older Jewish girl whose mother, Hannah, is a secretary at the Israeli embassy. Hannah takes in a charming lodger who claims to be a Chilean exile. The lodger, Ilych, is about to turn all their lives upside-down. Hannah and Ilych fall in love. But Hannah has a husband, Jacques Bousquet. He has no future worthy of comment but his past is another matter. Agatha may also have a crush on Ilych. But is that enough of an excuse to murder a leading Jewish philanthropist? At least, that's what she thinks she's done. Ilych is in love with Mary, an Irish Republican. And they both love big bangs. Declan, Jonny's cousin, is also in love with Mary and is on the run. Julie, a strip-club hostess, and Jonny may be in love. Yossi, a Mossad agent, is in love with Israel and is chasing the international terrorist, Carlos. Carlos, dubbed The Jackal has many loves but his greatest love is himself. Alvarez, a Chilean assassin, is in love with his job. He's also chasing Carlos. DI Douglas is a policeman who also loves his job and that involves stopping Alvarez. Pinto Smith, a gangland boss, is in love with money and his company has a security contract at Heathrow. Frank Patterson is a bigot and also a police sergeant. He's in love with no one, least of all Jonny and his Catholic Irish mother. The worldwide hunt for Carlos is on. Will he escape a long prison term courtesy of Scotland Yard, or the speedy vengeance of Mossad, or something much worse at the hands of Chile's military intelligence? And, his greatest test of all: will one of his amours betray him to Mossad
