Product Description
A clandestine treaty. A death-bed confession. And the hunt is on for Sean Dillon, who must go head to head with the Mafia.
The year is 1944. Just outside Delhi a British Dakota crashes, taking lives and destroying a clandestine treaty signed by Lord Mountbatten and the Communist leader, Mao Tse-tung. An historic agreement, one set to change the course of history.
Over thirty years later, a death-bed confession from a Mafia kingpin reveals the answers to untouched secrets about the treaty, and just how much the British and Chinese governments would pay for its destruction.
It's not long before Sean Dillon enters the fray; his feared expertise tested as he goes up against the uncompromising violence of the Mafia and the enticing dangers of a beautiful woman, more deadly than any professional killer he has ever known.
Battling ruthless killers and the higher unseen powers of the government, Dillon must expose treacheries, colossal truths, and risk everything he loves in an explosive and thrilling quest for justice.

Format:Paperback
A brilliantly written book thats impossible to put down as you follow Britians most leathal enforcer, the notorious ex IRA man Sean Dillion. On a fast moving explosive plot with the destiny of Hong Kong at stake, the book could'nt be better.
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Another gripping book from the pen of Jack Higgins. Just like Tom Clancy, once you are into the story you can't, and don't want to put it down. You are left wanting more once the story is over. This would make a cracking film with the right actors involved.
Format:Kindle Edition
this is one of my personal favourates of jack higgins' sean dillon series as jack higgins throws in an extra element in the beggining of the book with sean being supposedly too badly injured to continue in his line of work (you will have to read the book!) the story then continues on an equaly enjoyably intresting line with many new memorable characters. if you like sean dillon you will LOVE this!!!!!!!!!
