SUBJECT: "On a perfect day, standing high on the cliffs of Dover, one can glimpse the coast of France, twenty-one miles away. For two hundred years men have looked across the stormy expanse of the English Channel, dreaming of a tunnel that would connect the coasts. Now, against immense opposition, the task has begun in a gripping, terrifying novel. Retired engineer Frank Kenward is offered the most monumental engineering project in history. For Jamie Quinn, leader of a rogue faction of the Irish Republican Army, it is the perfect target. While the 'mole' works underground scouring the chalk between Dover and Calais, Quinn assembles his tools and recruits his henchmen from Amsterdam to Pittsburgh, from Los Angeles to Belfast. The efforts of the tunnelers, the terrorists, and eventually Scotland Yard converge on the tranquil coastal towns."
