Synopsis

A year after the Revolution, violent unrest still simmers across rural Mexico. Except in Mojada, in the northern foothills of the Sierra Madre, where the country’s most renowned assassin has dispensed with any need for rules. Plenty of men had tried to take Tomas de la Plata. But never a trained killer just a whisper away from death… Emmet Keogh escaped a bitter war in Ireland only to find himself in debt to a beautiful Yaqui woman and caught red-handed on the wrong side of the law. Now he has a choice: To kill the most dangerous man in Mexico – or face death by firing squad… The Wrath of God was made into a classic film starring Robert Mitchum and, in her last film, Rita Hayworth. “Exceptionally readable adventure…smooth writing, life-size characters and plenty of exciting characters” – Sunday Times

Three men with violent backgrounds are in Mexico in 1922 and are forced to team up--given the job of finding and killing a bandit leader. What makes this novel extraordinary isn't just the strong, action-packed plot, but also the unusual characters. The author is Jack Higgins, though this early novel......more
