A quest for vengeance leads a man into the deadly underworld of the Cold War in this thriller from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Midnight Bell.
 
Before Fidel Castro and his revolution, Harry Manning had a prime ocean salvage operation in Batista’s Cuba. Now, he’s just scraping by as a charter captain in the Bahamas, with not much to worry about except where his next drink is coming from, and how long his beautiful lady, Maria, is going put up with his careless ways.
 
His idyll is destroyed in one terrible instant when Maria’s plane is blown out of the sky, and Harry’s descent into misery changes into a burning desire for revenge. His first step: Find the man who put a suitcase bomb onboard the plane. The next step? Survive.
 
Harry’s personal vendetta has put him in the middle of a silent war between the superpowers in which there are no prisoners and no mercy. And he’s going to have to decide how far he’s willing to go for payback—and how much of the world he’s willing to risk.
 
Before The Eagle Has Landed became a blockbuster New York Times bestseller and turned him into a global phenomenon, Jack Higgins honed his skills with no-holds-barred thrillers such as this, one of his earliest works featuring his trademark combination of gunplay, adventure, and men of action.

Most of my readings from Jack Higgins have been the Sean Dillon series. This was a new venture for me. Started softly and slowly while considering whether to read on. But, after a couple of chapters, the suspense began to build providing me with strong interest in reading the book to the end. I am glad I finished reading the book.

This author can entice me to read about anything with his name on it! I have followed him for years and there has never been a disappointment
These are very real characters that are fleshed out where the reader can find a flash of some identifying emotion or characteristic in themselves.
I highly recommend this book

How I wish I could join him in his favourite restaurant in Jersey to share the impact his writing has had on me who could not say yes without getting tongue tied at the age of 12 living in the tip of Africa. Refreshing to read English and not American.
