Only four men in the whole of the US could have known when the shipment of ten millions dollars to the IRA was scheduled. One of those four must be responsible for the slaughter of the couriers and hijacking of the funds. Only one man is trusted by the terrorists to go after the money. Their best assassin; the man they call Jig - deft at killing, nimble at eluding capture.

I re-read this the other day and I still feel what I felt at the time, that this was the finest thriller published in a ten year span between 1986-1996, which includes a lot of good books. Why this novel never got filmed when the childish Patriot Games did, is beyond me. JIG is so rich in character and plot, and so well-written, it's incredible that it has been overlooked by Hollywood. We've had so many crummy movies made about the IRA - and yet the best thriller on the subject, JIG, slipped through the net. Do yourself a favor and read this beauty again...

This book gives a real insight into what drives a terrorist on and how he could be your neighbour , son , friend . This book has amazing twists and turns throughout the plot and once picked up it is hard to put down.
