Book review - "Touch the Devil" by Jack Higgins (1982) (warning: spoilers)

 Brisk and easy to read though it feels like reheated left overs - not just one IRA dream hit man who is artistic and has a conscience but two, an enigmatic French woman who actually doesn't do that much in the story, an escape from prison, a woman turned traitor because of a big dick, a chase after a psycho,getting out of troubl with a hidden gun,   a confrontation at the end between a Prime Minister and an assassin. Really Brosnan (one of the dreamy IRA men, Liam Devlin is another one) should have died at the end but Higgins couldn't bring himself to do it.
