Belfast, 2007: peace, prosperity and self-government have returned to Belfast. Hastily buried beneath the shiny new facade lies a past that still haunts former IRA hitman Gerry Fegan. His former victims - the twelve souls of the title - shadow his every waking day and scream through every drunken night. Just as he reaches the edge of sanity they reveal their desire: vengeance on his former paymasters. From the greedy politicians to the corrupt security forces, the street thugs to the complacent bystanders who let it happen - in the end, all must pay the price.
When Fegan's vendetta threatens to derail Northern Ireland's peace process and destabilise its fledgling government, old comrades and enemies alike want him gone. David Campbell, a double agent lost between the forces of law and terror, has his own reasons for wanting Fegan dead and takes the job.
