Book description
Ten years ago, a fortune in gold bullion was stolen, only to disappear
beneath the Irish Sea. Now it's been found, and Sean Dillon must face
ghosts from his past in the race to get to it first.
A fortune in stolen British gold, brutally hijacked by Irish Protestant
paramilitaries in the 1980s, lies shipwrecked at the bottom of the Irish
Sea. Now the Irish Rose, and her precious cargo, have been found. The
race is on to recover the bullion.
Irish militant Michael Ryan wants to finance war in his homeland - and
a sinister pact with the New York Mafia will make his dreams a savage
reality. To stop him, the British and American authorities must call in
the best: Sean Dillon, once the most feared IRA enforcer, now working
for British Intelligence.
His mission: to retrieve the gold and stop Ryan by any means necessary.
With millions of pounds, and countless innocent lives hanging in the
balance, the two men become locked in a furious race. Pursued by ghosts
from his past, Dillon must fight for his own survival in this brutally
thrilling game of cat and mouse. 'Open a Jack Higgins novel and you'll
encounter a master craftsman at the peak of his powers … first-rate
tales of intrigue, suspense and full-on action.'
