Book Description

Publication Date: 7 Oct 2002 | Series: Sean Dillon Series (Book 10)

Undercover enforcer Sean Dillon is the target for a vengeance killer in this action-packed new thriller from the master of the genre – the author of the international bestsellers DAY OF RECKONING and EDGE OF DANGER.

A ruthless killer is seeking revenge – and she has Sean Dillon in her sights – in this adrenalin-fuelled adventure from the master of the modern thriller.

The murderous Rashid family were forced to pay the ultimate price for their crimes by the British Government’s secret enforcer Sean Dillon and his undercover team. Yet one member of that oil-rich dynasty was allowed to live, and that could have been Dillon’s fatal mistake. Kate Rashid witnessed her brothers being killed one by one, and now she has sworn vengeance. Sean Dillon, White House operative Blake Johnson, even the US President himself… their time is coming, and only she knows how – or when.

Product Description

Amazon Review

Agent Sean Dillon returns in Midnight Runner, a sequel to 2001's Edge of Danger, in which author Jack Higgins, a consistently solid thriller writer, introduced the intriguing and powerful Arab/English Rashid family. Kate, the only Rashid left after an assassination attempt on the American president foiled by Dillon, has sworn to avenge her family and will do anything to humiliate the United States, including sabotage her own oil fields to cripple America's--and the world's--oil supplies.

The fast-paced action starts with the death of a presidential envoy's daughter and ends with an explosive showdown in the Rashid oil fields. Higgins makes the most of a somewhat thin plot with superb pacing and terrific action sequences. From Dillon's earlier adventures, he brings back Harry and Billy Salter, the agent's "reasonably but not totally respectable" gangster pals; White House operative Blake Johnson; and Sean's boss, General Ferguson. The new characters include a Vietnam war hero who's a roving troubleshooter for President Jake Cazalet, and another villainous Rashid, Kate's American cousin Chauncey. And while Kate seems to be down for the count at the end of this adventure, Dillon and his fans may not have seen the last of her yet. --Jane Adams --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars A welcome return to form 10 Feb 2002
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
I was really disappointed with Jack Higgins last novel 'Edge of Danger'. However, Midnight Runner, which takes up the story where Edge of Danger finished, reveals a return to form by Mr Higgins. Indeed if the two books had been issued as one I would never have dared critised the author.
I sincerely hope that Mr Higgins maintains his return to the form.

1.0 out of 5 stars run of the mill 10 Jan 2005
By N. Brett TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
This really has been churned out. I suspect that without the jack Higgins name on it, it would have vanished without a trace.
Characters with no depth, no tension, minimal plot and too many times you just thought "but why don't they just...."
Mainly I just thought "why did I bother?". Tragically he can write so well when he puts his mind to it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Continued Suspense by Master Thriller Writer Jack Higgins 20 Feb 2002
By Joseph John Williams
Format:Hardcover
This sequal to Higgins last book continues to supply a thrill a minute.
The old favourites are back:The silky smooth Sean Dillon ex IRA Enforcer.The team at the Secret Service,the American Presidents Special Force and the local london gangsters.
Add the Rashid Empire run by a beautiful lady Kate Rashid who has sworn revenge for the killing of her brothers, and a plot develops that is enthralling.
IRA bomb makers,desert scouts,commanded by an English Army Captain named Villiars,plots by the IRA to blow up a bridge that is linked to oil pipelines supplying both America and Russia owned by Kate Rashid, send the irrepresible and loveable Dillon scurring off to Ireland and the Far East in an attempt to save the economy of the World and the American Presidents job.
Time and time again Dillon escapes death by the skin of his teeth,and against all the odds comes up trumps.Watch out for the twist and turns as the story unfolds.
For all of us avid Jack Higgins fans this was a Fix and we all await with anticipation his next release.Excellent,Thrilling,Tense,and written with Humour. Difficult to put down once picked up.
