former undercover informant to the British police on the activities
of the IRA. Set in Belfast in the late 1980s, the film shows how
McGartland led a double life for four years while still in his
early twenties, revealing nothing of his position even to close
friends and family, until his cover was blown in 1991 and he was
kidnapped and tortured by the IRA. Ben Kingsley co-stars as Fergus,
McGartland's British 'handler'.

An inheritance at risk and the discovery of an extraordinary cache
of old wines during a history-making flood leads to foul play and
death in this Mark Rollins mystery adventure. The old man finished
a glass of wine-his favorite claret-went to bed, and died. Now more
than fifty years later, a stunningly beautiful Nashville attorney,
Ann Sims, is preparing to auction off his estate-a derelict old
mansion with its long-forgotten secret. Sims has lived with a
secret of her own, a secret that could cost her the fortune she is
in line to inherit and end her career. Beautiful women can make
poor choices in men. She is no exception. Afraid, for good reason,
of the possessive and greedy men in her life, she turns to Mark
Rollins for protection. Rollins, the central character in Collins'
mysteries, is a modern-day hero-a protector, problem solver, and
crime fighter. His "superhero-like" powers are technology,
extraordinary wealth, and friends in high places. This time his
technology is failing him as he tries to keep Ann Sims alive-his
efforts thwarted by Nashville's failing infrastructure in the wake
of the massive storm and flood that provides cover for bad things.

A really good man died Sunday night in Nashville's notorious
Printers Alley. According to the newspaper account, it was a case
of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. A drunken reveler
with a gun had fired his weapon indiscriminately, ending the life
of Tennessee's likely next governor and perhaps a future President
of the United States. Mark Rollins wasn't ready to buy it. The dead
man, Harold T. Lansden, Esq., was more than just a prominent lawyer
and rising political figure. He was a friend, and he had called
Rollins the night before his death to ask for Mark's help with a
problem of some kind. Lansden was killed before the two could meet
to discuss the details. Was Lansden's death as it seemed on the
surface or was it premeditated murder and, if so, by whom and why?
Rollins' search for answers yields a plethora of avenues that could
have led someone to commit murder. As for who did it, there is no
shortage of candidates.
