Description
A classic thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Eagle Has Landed.
Sean Egan, ex-SAS operative and private investigator, is hired by wealthy American to investigate the murder of her stepson - a student who has been brutally killed and his corpse used to transport a deadly consignment of drugs.
Investigate, and avenge...
Egan is initially unwilling to take the job, but when he discovers a personal link, choice becomes a luxury he can no longer afford.
The hunt is on for a ruthless man with links not only to drugs but also international terrorism, and the old Sicilian proverb has never been more true: the price for revenge is a season in hell.

Jack Higgins lived in Belfast till the age of twelve. Leaving school at fifteen, he spent three years with the Royal Horse Guards, and was later a teacher and university lecturer. His thirty-sixth novel, The Eagle Has Landed (1975), turned him into an international bestselling author, and his novels have since sold over 250 million copies and been translated into sixty languages. Many have been made into successful films. He died in 2022, at his home in Jersey, surrounded by his family.
