Biography Jack Elgos was born in the industrial north of England. He left school with no education to speak of and his handwriting is illegible to this day.

For the last twenty years he and his girlfriend have remained stubbornly unmarried and childless, together they have travelled the world, taking a chance at whatever came their way. From the strictly legal, through the definitely dodgy to the downright life threatening, they have enjoyed success and failure in equal measure.

Now in his fifties his experiences have inspired him to turn his hand to novels.

Though his work is fiction, there will always be a little bit of truth in there.

About The Killer.

To survive the violent streets of Belfast in the 1970s, young Darren McCann learns to fight. The IRA are interested in recruiting him but, though he is a Catholic, he refuses to take sides until a family tragedy allies him with "the cause".

His specialist training turns him into an efficient sniper and covert operative. One brutal interrogation earns Darren the reputation as "The Butcher of Belfast" and pairs him with his infamous knife, The Killer. After a high profile assassination, he takes refuge in Spain where he works with ETA terrorists and takes part in an audacious bank raid.

He returns to Ireland to continue the fight, but the seeds of doubt are planted in his mind by a British MI6 officer with shocking information and plans to turn him into a double-agent.
