Higgins picks up where his last novel Dark Justice
featuring top-level British intelligence officer Gen. Charles
Ferguson and his right-hand agent, former IRA enforcer Sean Dillon,
left off, three weeks after a shootout killed Russian billionaire
Josef Belov and his agents Yuri Ashimov and Maj. Greta Novikova.
But hold on, not all of the above are really dead, and those left
alive have sworn to destroy the general and his band of spies, who
are also grieving for their colleague Supt. Hann
內容簡介:
On the pavement, Hannah Bernstein was trying to haul herself up,
clutching at the railings as Dillon got to her. "You''re all right,
just hold on to me." But there was blood coming down her face, and
he was afraid. In Jack Higgins''s acclaimed bestseller Dark Justice,
intelligence operative Sean Dillon and his colleagues in Britain
and the United States beat back a terrible enemy, but at an equally
terrible cost. One of them was shot, another run down in the
street. Both were expected to survive-but only one of them does. As
Detective Superintendent Hannah Bernstein of Special Branch lies
recuperating in the hospital, a dark shadow from her and Dillon''s
past, scarred deep by hatred, steals across the room and finishes
the job. Consumed by grief and rage, Dillon, Blake, Ferguson, and
all who loved Hannah swear vengeance, no matter where it takes
them. But they have no idea of the searing journey upon which they
are about to embark-nor of the war that will change them all.
Filled with dark suspense, driven by characters of complexity and
passion, Without Mercy once again proves that Jack Higgins is the
dean of intrigue novelists.
