Peter T. King is Congressman from Third District in New York. He divides his time between Seaford, NY and Washington, D.C. Deliver Us from Evil is the long awaited sequel to Terrible Beauty (also available from Roberts Rinehart).
As a Boston Irish Democrat I was sure I knew all that was worth knowing about politics until I read Deliver Us from Evil, by Peter King, a New York Irish Republican. With the insider's insight, Peter King has crafted a gripping narrative of big city, big time, high stakes politics on both sides of the Atlantic, a book full of characters capable of petty grievance, high ideals, and low expectations. You'll enjoy Deliver Us from Evil and I guarantee you will learn a lot about real politics because this book brims with intrigue, deceit and conceit…

Congressman Peter King's intense and riveting second novel convinces you how we must be vigilant and ever-alert in our terror-filled world. In the case of Deliver Us From Evil that world happens to be the politics of Northern Ireland, but it could be any country. The recent history of Northern Ireland's rocky road to peace is laced with the gritty language, courage, and determination of Congressman Sean Cross, and the fabric of this superb novel, filled with life threatening machinations, will warm you on a chilly evening, With a cast of fictional stars interacting with world-stage stars like Bill Clinton and Tony Blair the story is set in Ireland, England, Russia, Washington, and the East Side Irish ginmills of New York, and it will leave you breathless.

Peter King has given us more than a first-rate political novel. Deliver Us from Evil is a gripping account of politics, diplomacy, and intrigue at the very highest levels. Peter King worked for peace and justice in Northern Ireland for years. He was with me at the center of the Irish peace process. He knows what he is writing about and he writes it very well.

Congressman Pete King gives the reader unprecedented insights into the unforgiving corridors of power on Capitol Hill, the daring intrigues of international diplomacy, the netherworlds of intelligence agencies and the evil face of terrorism. He says Deliver Us from Evil is fiction. I say it's as real as today's headlines.

Peter King gives us a sophisticated look at local, national and international politics, and into grisly murders … Yes, it is Irish, but it goes so far beyond that.
