On July 31, 1997, a six-man Emergency Service team from the NYPD raided a terrorist cell in Brooklyn and narrowly prevented a suicide bombing of the New York subway that would have cost hundreds, possibly thousands of lives. Seven Shots tells the dramatic story of that raid, the painstaking police work involved, and its paradoxical aftermath, which drew the officers into a conflict with other rank-and-file police and publicity-hungry top brass. Jennifer C. Hunt draws on her personal knowledge of the NYPD and a network of police contacts extending from cop to four-star chief, to trace the experience of three officers on the Emergency Service entry team and the two bomb squad detectives who dismantled the live device. She follows their lives for five years, from that near-fatal day in 1997, through their encounters inside the brutal world of departmental politics, and on to 9/11, when they once again put their lives at risk in the fight against terrorism, racing inside the burning towers and sorting through the ash, debris, and body parts. Throughout this fast paced narrative, Hunt maintains a strikingly fine-grained, street-level view, allowing us to understand the cops on their own terms—and often in their own words. The result is a compelling insider’s picture of the human beings who work in two elite units in the NYPD and the moral and physical danger and courage involved. As gripping as an Ed McBain novel—and just as steeped in New York cop culture and personalities—Seven Shots takes readers on an unforgettable journey behind the shield and into the hearts of New York City police.

Pat Egan is a pioneering music and concert promoter; the first ever to stage arena concerts in Ireland with Queen in 1979 at the RDS. He is also the man behind Ireland’s first major outdoor music festival headlined by a world superstar, Bob Marley at Dalymount Park in 1980. From growing up fatherless and penniless on the inner-city streets of Dublin in the 1950s to representing internationally famous Irish stars such as Colm Wilkinson, Brendan O’Carroll, Phil Coulter and Rebecca Storm, Pat Egan has had a life like no other. Backstage Pass brings you on a journey from pirate radio station Radio Caroline via the No. 5 Club and the opening in 1970 of Sound Cellar, Ireland’s first progressive music store, still trading 51 years on. It tells the inside story of a life presenting concerts by international artists including a 40-year association with Sir Billy Connolly, plus Freddie Starr, Van Morrison, Sir George Martin, Eric Clapton, Queen, Sir Elton John, Dame Shirley Bassey and many more, with stories and anecdotes of working with legends like Gay Byrne, Paul McGrath, Jack Nicklaus, and U2, as well as his early days with Phil Lynott and Rory Gallagher. Along the way we learn how drink, romance, and rock’n’roll tore Pat’s personal life apart and how a loan of £500 helped him turn it all around. How he stayed alive in the wild nightclub business of the 1980s and 1990s, with a shotgun held three inches from his face. Backstage Pass gives a first ever behind-the-scenes insight into the inner workings of the Irish concert business, including an eye-opening look into where your ticket money goes. It also highlights the poor treatment of young Irish acts who can’t get their music played on Irish commercial radio. Lavishly illustrated with rare photos, this is your own backstage pass into the Irish music business. Backstage Pass is essential reading for all those with an interest in the music and concert scene in Ireland today. With a foreword by Billy Connolly. Pat Egan is one of Ireland’s top concert promoters, with over 50 years of experience in the Irish music scene. The author’s royalties will go to St Audeon’s National School.
