Edge of Danger: Book 9 Higgins, Jack

Sean Dillon is back, and this time the stakes are nuclear. 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.
