Publisher's summary

The master of suspense returns, with a fierce cutting-edge tale of international terrorism and personal heroism.

"Jack Higgins has written some of the best suspense fiction of the past 50 years," wrote The San Diego Union-Tribune. And in The Death Trade, he does it again.

An eminent Iranian scientist has made a startling breakthrough in nuclear weapons research, but he can’t stand the thought of his country owning the bomb. He would run if he could, but if he does, his family dies. He is desperate, he doesn’t know what to do.

It is up to Sean Dillon and the rest of the small band known as the "Prime Minister’s private army" to come up with a plan. Most particularly, it is up to their newest member, an intelligence captain and Afghan war hero named Sara Gideon, who thinks there just might be a way to bring it off.

But plans have a way of coming up against the unexpected. And as the operation spins out, from Paris and Syria to Iran and the Saudi Arabian desert, there is very much that is unexpected, indeed. And much blood that will be spilled.

Filled with event, driven by characters of complexity and passion, The Death Trade is a remarkable novel by the "dean of intrigue novelists" (St. Louis Post-Dispatch).

Jack Higgins is still on top

With this being the twentieth book in the Sean Dillon series you would think the formula would be getting a little stale. But it’s not all though I have a feeling the we are in for some transitioning since the characters are getting older. I’m kind of excited to find out what comes next. Especially for the characters of Sara Gideon and Billy Slater. As they both seem to come in to there own in this book especially the Sara Gideon character. I highly recommend this book as do I all Jack Higgins works.
