Synopsis

For intelligence operative Sean Dillon, it is a routine passport check. But the events it will lead to will be as bloody as any he has ever known. The man he stops at Heathrow airport is Caspar Rashid, born and bred in England, but with family ties to a Bedouin tribe fiercely wedded to the old ways, as he’s just found out to his pain.Rashid’s thirteen-year-old daughter, Sara, has been kidnapped by his own father and taken to Iraq to be married to a man known as the Hammer of God, one of the Middle East’s most feared terrorists. Dillon has had his own run-ins with that tribe, and when the distraught man begs Dillon for help, he sees a chance to settle some old scores—but he has no idea of the terrible chain of events he is about to unleash, nor of the implacable enemies he is about to gain. Before his journey is done, many men will die—and Dillon may be one of them.

Goodreads review by Rick on December 24, 2008

I'd really give this 2 1/2 stars, but that isn't an option on this site, I guess. It is another entertaining Higgins' tale, but like most of his newer novels, it lacks the original punch of his earlier novels. They begin to read all the same. That said, this one was an improvement over some of the o......more

Goodreads review by Robert on March 10, 2011

I would give this 1.5 stars if I could. In one word, contrived. The coincidental events (perfect people overhearing perfect conversations and deciding to report them to the perfect people at the perfect time with perfect results) were to the point of being ludicrous. I lost count of how many people wer......more
