Book description
Jack Higgins, the undisputed master of action and suspense is back with
a brand new adventure featuring the unstoppable Sean Dillon.
For intelligence operative Sean Dillon, it is a routine passport check.
But the events it will lead to will be as bloody as any he has ever
known. The man he stops at Heathrow airport is Caspar Rashid, born and
bred in England, but with family ties to a Bedouin tribe fiercely wedded
to the old ways, as Rashid has just found out to his pain. His
thirteen-year-old daughter, Sara, has been kidnapped by Rashid's own
father and taken to Iraq to be married to a man known as the 'Hammer of
God', one of the Middle East's most feared terrorists.
Dillon has had his own run-ins with the tribe, and when the distraught
man begs him for help, he sees a chance to settle some old scores - but
Dillon has no idea of the terrible chain of events he is about to
unleash, nor of the implacable enemies he is about to gain.
Before his journey is done, many men will die - and Dillon may be one
of them. 'Open a Jack Higgins novel and you'll encounter a master
