High dive
Lee, Jonathan, 1981-2015
Book
In September 1984, a man calling himself Roy Walsh checked into the Grand Hotel in Brighton, England, and planted a bomb in Room 629. The device, set on a long delay timer, was primed to explode in 24 days, six hours and six minutes, when intelligence had confirmed that Margaret Thatcher and her whole cabinet would be staying there. Taking us inside one of the 20th-century's most ambitious assassination attempts this novel moves between the luxurious hospitality of a British tourist town and the troubled city of Belfast at the height of the armed struggle between the IRA and those loyal to the UK government.
