Publisher Description
“Jack Higgins has written some of the best suspense fiction of the past fifty years,” wrote the San Diego Union-Tribune, and The Strand Magazine agreed: “With fresh plots, interesting characters and vibrant settings, Jack Higgins has firmly cemented his reputation as one of the world’s most successful thriller writers.”
And in this novel, a devil is indeed waiting.…
The President is coming to London, but not to an entirely warm welcome. A fanatical mullah is offering a blessing to anyone who will assassinate the President, and though most London Muslims think the mullah has crossed the line, a few think otherwise.
Urgently, Sean Dillon, General Charles Ferguson, and the rest of the small band known as the “Prime Minister’s private army” are called in, augmented by an extra-ordinary new recruit, an intelligence captain and Afghan war hero named Sara Gideon. She has her own contacts and ways of working, but the more she explores the threat, the more she discovers herself in a very dark place indeed.

" All the usual characters and a new one, Sara Gideon, red-headed hero of the Afghan war. She lives up to her hair! :-) If you haven't read Jack Higgins I might start back a little - it's a long evolving saga. I like the ones about the White House, including, I believe, something about an Eagle. (The Eagle has landed?) "

" Standard fare from Jack Higgins' fertile imagination. Seems to continue a trend of characters disappearing, either gradually (Sean Dillon) or abruptly (Hannah Bernstein). Fortunately, interesting new characters are coming into play, such as Sara Gideon, introduced in this book. Daniel Holley also has a larger role. Good fiction of the Higgins variety. "

" Typical Jack Higgins but read them all as they keep coming. Guilty pleasure. "
— Carolyn, 1/18/2014 -
" Higgins has been writing the same book for years. He has added new characters and is phasing out others. "
— Al, 1/17/2014 -
" Introducing a new character, Sara Gideon who inmediatly establishes a relationship with Daniel Holley keeping Sean Dillon marginalized. The plot flows on a slow track. "

" Good book, kept me interested. "
— Ann, 1/7/2014 -
" It was okay. I usually read everything on the best seller list, but it was pretty predictable and some of the dialogue was really cheesy. I just don't think these types of "war" novels are my cup of tea. I'm into much younger, creative writers, no offense, Jack Higgins. "

" Basic Sean Dillion book. "
— Larry, 12/12/2013 -
" Sean Dillion and Daniel Murphy return in the story in which al Queda is planning a terror attack in the heart of London. The characters are familiar and I like them, but for some reason this story didn't grab me that much. "
— Doug, 12/11/2013 -
" I thoroughly enjoyed this read. Faced paced and entertaining. "
— Jim, 8/16/2013 -
" A book that I never would have picked to read. It was very good, fast reading. "
— Pam, 6/6/2013 -
" Probably should be a two "
— Duane, 10/13/2012 -
" not one of his best. "
