'Another page-turner from the master... one of the fastest-moving thrillers Higgins has penned for some time. It isn't just Higgins at his best, it is him at his most inventive and impressive.' Oxford Times 'Dillon makes his 8th appearance in this return-to-form thriller. As in the best of his earlier work, Higgins shifts the action with practised ease between London, Beirut and Ireland... this is Higgins as we like him to be.' Good Book Guide

Jack Higgins was a soldier and then a teacher before becoming a full-time writer. The Eagle Has Landed turned him into an international bestselling author and his novels have since sold over 250 million copies and been translated into fifty-five languages. Many of them have also been made into successful films. The 9th novel in the Sean Dillon series, Edge of Danger, will be published by HarperCollins in Spring 2001. 'HIGGINS IS THE MASTER' Tom Clancy
