Book description
Introducing UNACO - the United Nations Anti Crime Organisation - an
elite team of agents who battle the world's deadliest criminals. When
the mission looks impossible, the world calls upon UNACO.
The most ingenious criminal in the world has come up with his most
spectacular exploit, to kidnap the mother of the president of the United
States and hold her and the Eiffel Tower to ransom.
He hires for his team:

military equipment
• the best cat burglar, who can scale any heights
• a man whose extraordinary strength and ingenuity will conquer any obstacle.
Faced with this audacious crime of the century, the world's top
politicians can only turn to UNACO and its team. 'A magnificent
storyteller' Sunday Mirror
'The most successful British novelist of his time' Jack Higgins
'Alistar MacLean is one of the few people writing today who has a story
to tell.' Daily Express Alistair MacLean, the son of a Scots minister,
was brought up in the Scottish Highlands. In 1941 he joined the Royal
Navy. The two and a half years he spent aboard a wartime cruiser gave
him the background for HMS Ulysses, his remarkably successful first
novel, published in 1955. He is now recognized as one of the outstanding
popular writers of the 20th century, the author of 29 worldwide
bestsellers, many of which have been filmed.
