| Underworld
Underworld is the violent and controversial story of how
SAS Sergeant Michael ‘Mike’ Burton,
two trusted friends, and a single, remarkable
woman, Theresa, infiltrate the mean streets of
Belfast. Here, with a combination of high technology
and human courage, they embark on the ‘neutralisation’
of the most dangerous gangsters in that crime-ridden
city.
'A
high-octane mixture… the SAS, the IRA and
organised crime are the explosive ingredients
of Shaun Clarke's latest thriller. Forget the
subtitles - Clarke grabs you by the throat in
the opening pages and refuses to let go.'
-Yorkshire
Evening Post
“A
rich and dangerous brew…”
-Dorset Evening Echo
“Clarke
builds up the tension superbly, with smatterings
of often chilling violence…”
-Hartlepool Mail
“Well
observed, sharply written… this is heart-pumping
stuff…”
-Birmingham Post
“What
the real SAS thinks of this is anybody’s
guess, but Shaun Clarke’s violent thriller,
Underworld, might well make them feel uncomfortable…
[It] ticks away like a time-bomb.”
-Birmingham Sunday Mercury
This 'thinking man's thriller' is remarkably insightful in respect of the background of 'The Troubles' in Northern Ireland and their effects on people and everyday life, and the aftermath of the peace initiative, lending the story an unusual authencity. Its stark realism is chilling. Clarke's brilliant, compelling narration just won't let you go."
