About this ebook
A Brooklyn murder sparks a black ops agent's quest for revenge in this thriller by the New York Times–bestselling author of The Eagle Has Landed.
"This is vintage Higgins, and heralds the long-awaited return of his most popular creation, the enigmatic Sean Dillon, former IRA gunman turned British government enforcer." — Belfast Telegraph
International crime boss Jack Fox makes two mistakes with journalist Katherine Johnson. He let her get too close to the truth, and he killed her. Katherine's ex-husband is Blake Johnson, the head of a clandestine White House department known as the Basement. With the President's permission, the former FBI agent is now on a mission for revenge.
To take out Fox, Johnson will need help. That means teaming up with ex-IRA mercenary Sean Dillon. Together, they'll go after Fox where it will hurt the most—his illegal businesses—and leave him defenseless. Fox's money trail takes them around the world, from New York and England to Ireland and the Middle East. But he isn't going to go down easily. Even as his empire crumbles around him, the crime boss fires back with a vengeance just as deadly and explosive as theirs . . .
"The action is sleek and intensely absorbing, but the supreme pleasure is in those Higgins celebrates—tarnished warriors who value honor over life and who get the job done no matter what the cost."— Publishers Weekly
"Completely story-driven, bowling along at a terrific pace." — The Irish Times
Originally published in 2000.
