I don't remember the last book I read, but I like just about anything by Ted Dekker or Jack Higgins. Especially Jack Higgins' "Sean Dillon" novels. The back story on Sean Dillon is he's an Irish actor whose parents get killed by the Brits (I think), and because of this he ends up joining the "glorious cause" (aka the IRA) and becomes one of their most deadly assassins. Later on in the series, Ferguson, the Prime Minister's "private investigator," sets a trap to catch Dillon on a run to the former Yugoslavia and captures him. Basically gives him an offer he can't refuse, and now he's working for the British government against the IRA. Definitely a series worth checking out if you're into spy novels and crime drama.
