Looking for a book. Can anyone help?

[+allenjb42]

I remember reading a novel back in the '80s about a group of terrorist (think they may have been a mix of IRA and arabs) who take the queen hostage in Buckingham Palace.

 

The cover was red I think and had a picture of as throne with the queen's crown with an Uzi and it's sling draped across it.

 

Been racking my brains as to what the book was called with a view to looking it up on ebay or Amazon but for the life of me I can't remember.

 

Any ideas guys?

Are you talking about  Queen Victoria or Elizabeth?

The IRA did actually plot to kidnap Victoria.

Definitely Elizabeth II.

The cover doesn't match the description but ho about "The Siege of Buckingham Palace"?  Try Amazon, http://www.amazon.com/Siege-Buckingham-Palace-Walter-Nelson/dp/0316603139
