Synopsis

American socialite Sarah Talbot had everything going for her: a multi-million dollar business, a large circle of well-placed friends, and a successful marriage to English aristocrat and army colonel Edward Talbot. Talbot is killed in the Falklands Campaign leaving her with her adored step-son Eric, a student at Cambridge. Then Eric dies in Paris of a drug-overdose, and when Sarah seeks to uncover the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death she finds all official roads to justice are blocked. If she wants satisfaction she must take matters into her own hands. And Sarah is determined: someone must pay.When she meets enigmatic young former SAS sergeant Sean Egan, an eloquent lone gun and the ultimate soldier, she knows she has the weapon she needs. A study in contradictions, Egan is a careful, thoughtful man, but a man to whom killing is as natural as breathing.Together they embark on a quest for revenge that will lead them from London to Paris, to Sicily and Northern Ireland, then back to London and a shattering climax on the dark, brooding wharves of the river Thames. Together Sean and Sarah will plumb the depths of the underworld, a world in which man’s capacity for destruction is almost beyond belief, a world in which revenge truly is a “season in hell.”

After randomly finding the early and relatively little-known Higgins East of Desolation and enjoying it more than expected, I said to myself, I'll have to go and reread some of his more blockbuster works sat on my bookshelf, so I plucked this one out to start with. It's kind of put me off any furthe......more

Goodreads review by L.M.

It's books like this that are really turning me into a fan of Mr. Higgins. True, the summary is a bit misgiving. I was expecting a dark and gritty story of a former SAS soldier now working as a assasin, dealing bloody vengeance to the mom who murdered the stepson of a wealthy American Woman. No, this......more

3.5 Momentami nieco się dłużyła, a kiedy indziej wydarzenia były opisane tak pobieżnie, że ciężko było się połapać w tym, co się właśnie stało.

Goodreads review by Louis

This tale of intrigue, murder and treachery falls into that unique genre, the airplane read. As its duo, a New York socialite and an ex-Special Services man (a must for this kind of book; there must be thousands of them for their own suspense thriller) search for revenge for a murder. Nothing specia......more
