Publisher's Synopsis
An electrifying novel of blood, vengeance, and international intrigue from the New York Times-bestselling author of The Eagle Has Landed.
As a high-powered Wall Street lawyer, Sarah Talbot believed her world was comfortable and secure-until her beloved stepson was found dead of a drug overdose in Paris. Her initial grief is compounded when she learns that his body was used to transport heroin by an unstoppable European cartel.
Trained by British SAS, Irish-born Sean Egan has no problem killing whenever and wherever someone has to die. Dealing with death is second nature to him. So when his sister's drug-poisoned corpse is found floating in the Thames, he knows it's not an accident-it's murder.
Bonded by their shared loss, Egan and Talbot come together, vow to find those responsible, and make them pay. Pursuing an enemy known only as "Mr. Smith" and hunted by a master assassin, they cannot imagine the truth they will uncover-and the dangers they will face. All they know is that they cannot stop until they have their revenge-no matter the cost.
For over fifty years, Jack Higgins, author of The Midnight Bell, Rain on the Dead, and other bestsellers, has thrilled millions around the world with his lighting-paced novels of international action, suspense, and spy craft. Filled with engaging heroes, implacable villains, and action that draws readers in like a classic honey trap, Higgins's novels remain the high-water mark of thriller excellence.
