ABSTRACT
An Irish housewife, with a secret bombmaking past, is kidnapped, along with her
little girl, and forced to build a huge bomb at the top of a skyscraper in the centre
of London. If she builds the bomb, maybe hundreds of people will die, if she
doesn’t, her daughter certainly will. They mean business, these terrorists, because
they keep the little girl in a dungeon and only produce home videotapes of her
every weekend, or whenever her mum seems to worry about the ethics of making
the bomb.
