Product Description
Sean Dillon is an assassin, a hired hand who, despite working for the IRA, PLO and ETA, has not seen the inside of a prison cell. He's just the man that Iraqi, Michael Aroun has been looking for - the kind of professional who won't flinch from an attack on the offices of British government.

This book is excellent in every way. The story never gets boring, and you find times when you dont want to put it down.
The way Jack Higgins makes you like Sean Dillon is really good, as Sean is up to no good you still don't want anything to go wrong for him, and you find you fall in love with his character straight away.
I'd recommend this book to anyone. Brilliant.

Format:Paperback
Based on the evidence of this book, which I have just finished reading, the formula seems pretty simple: Take a maverick assassin with IRA connections, some East End organised crime figures one of whom must be gay, and a few token real-life figures (if John Major can be so described). Have the assassin go through a Judas gate a few times, mix well with Bushmills whiskey and a light aircraft. Add a visit to the Channel Islands and a naively adoring adolescent girl who develops an unrequited passion for the assassin. Simmer lightly for 200 pages and then, "Hey presto", another best-seller. Not totally unenjoyable, though.

Jack Higgins excelled himself when he fictionalised the events that lead to the 1991 mortar attack on 10 Downing Street. Sean Dillon is a character similar to The Jackal, an assassin who will do any job if the money is right, and who can change his appearance to fit the occasion. British Intelligence want this man dead and hire a killer of a similar ilk to do the job. From here a thrilling and active story ensues with a little love interest thrown in. The great read we have come to expect from the author of The Eagle has Landed and Touch the Devil.
