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

Goodreads review by Tim on May 08, 2022

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

Goodreads review by Caroline on December 30, 2018

Wish I could give more than five stars! Jack Higgins is a fantastic author. So glad I found this book, as I've read almost all of his novels and to find one that is a new title to me was a wonderful thing. There's plenty of action in this story, with a love interest to lighten the action in between. T......more

Goodreads review by Sierra on May 01, 2024

The Wrath of God is just an enjoyable read. Thoroughly entertaining, despite some odd story and prose choices. I liked how Higgins' employed frequent irony in character arcs and story beats—it was blatant but not overused. The characters are a bit too similar to one another to have proper character......more
