A rogue Russian scientist with access to stolen warheads. A conspiracy that reaches into the White House. And a ticking clock that could see London reduced to ash. Jack Higgins strips away the spy-thriller pleasantries and throws Dillon into a race where every ally is compromised and every move could be his last. The prose is lean, the action relentless, and Higgins writes political intrigue like someone who's seen the rooms where decisions get made. This is the ninth book in the Dillon series, but it stands alone — though if you've followed him this far, you know he's not getting out clean. For fans of pulse-pounding espionage where the good guys bleed and the villains have excellent tailors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patina Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45536108609701,"sku":"BIN-C2-1812-05-22-2025","price":6.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/1407\/9909\/files\/71I3UdaMZlL.jpg?v=1748332376"},{"product_id":"the-white-house-connection-higgins-jack","title":"The White House Connection Higgins, Jack","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlake Johnson, the President's personal troubleshooter, gets pulled into a vendetta that stretches from Washington to London to the Irish countryside. Someone's hunting down anyone connected to a botched IRA peace negotiation years earlier — politicians, operatives, soldiers. The list is long, and the killer is methodical. Enter Sean Dillon, the former IRA enforcer turned British intelligence asset, who knows these streets and these grudges better than anyone. Higgins writes propulsive thrillers where the action is sharp, the dialogue crackles, and the morality is always a few shades greyer than you'd expect. This is spy fiction for people who like their heroes flawed and their plots tangled in real history. If you've burned through le Carré and need something faster-paced, or if you just want a solid espionage tale for a weekend, this delivers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patina Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45536110149797,"sku":"BIN-C2-1813-05-22-2025","price":6.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/1407\/9909\/files\/81owyjEqwPL.jpg?v=1748332389"},{"product_id":"sheba-higgins-jack","title":"Sheba Higgins, Jack","description":"\u003cp\u003eJack Higgins' *Sheba* follows Ruth Murray, a young archaeologist whose father's murder in the deserts of Arabia pulls her into a deadly hunt for the legendary lost city of Sheba. Armed with fragments of an ancient map and a burning need for answers, she joins forces with a hardened British mercenary to navigate tribal wars, double-crosses, and the unforgiving heat of the Empty Quarter. Higgins writes action with the precision of someone who's been there — taut dialogue, visceral combat, landscapes that feel like they're trying to kill you. The archaeology angle adds just enough intellectual weight to balance the gunfights. If you like your adventure fiction brutal, fast, and soaked in dust and sweat, this is the one.

Higgins writes with the pacing of a precision strike: lean prose, sudden violence, and characters who operate in moral shadows.

Jack Higgins delivers a taut espionage thriller set in the shadows of a divided city, where every border crossing could be your last and trust is the most dangerous currency.

Higgins builds tension like few can, layering moral ambiguity over wartime duty until you're not sure who to root for.
