Synopsis

It is night in Manhattan. The President of the United States is scheduled to have dinner with an old friend, but in the building across the street a man has disabled the security and stands at a window, a rifle in his hand. The assassination doesn’t go according to plan, but this is only the beginning. Someone is recruiting a shadowy network of agents with the intention of creating terror. Their range is broad, their identities masked, their methods subtle. White House operative Blake Johnson and his opposite number in British intelligence, Sean Dillon, set out to trace the source of the havoc, but behind the first man lies another, and behind him another still. And that man is not pleased by the interference. Soon, he will target them all: Johnson, Dillon, Dillon’s colleagues. And one of them will fall…

Goodreads review by Glen on September 29, 2022

Somebody tries to assassinate the president, but they are caught before they can pull the trigger. Sean Dillon and company set out to find out what's what, and mostly have glib exchanges between killing people. It actually reminded me of a Fred Williamson movie, despite Dillon being Irish.......more

Goodreads review by Addy on April 28, 2020

Another masterpiece by Jack Higgins with Sean Dillon at the peak of his powers. The Irish touch once again makes this novel extra special. The old school IRA names and even the British gangsters were so believable. And so was the entire Russian entourage. Set in the post 9/11 world, this no holds ba......more

Goodreads review by Lisa on July 02, 2014

First read by this specific author. Darkly funny, fast paced, engaging storyline, great action-adventure/thriller/crime genre book. Kind of reminded me of Tom Clancy or Clive Cussler in style. Not my favorite genre as a rule, but I really got a kick out of this one.......more
