Mission évasion

Undercover enforcer Sean Dillon tackles a new crisis as Presidential skeletons threaten to burst from the closet.

Bad company

Classic adventure from the million copy bestseller Jack Higgins

 The called it the Place of Silence: the last frozen barrier between Balpur and Tibet. An icy wilderness where desperate men made a living smuggling guns across the border.

 Even for the bravest, the luck has to run out.

 On what he thought would be his last flight, Jack Drummond found his own recipe for disaster. A deadly cargo of machine guns. A band of ruthless guerrillas. And a confrontation with the Chinese Reds, leaving no chance for escape.

The Iron Tiger

In Jack Higgins's new Mafia, no one wears gold chains or carries a tommy gun. Deals are done quietly and often resemble those in the "legal" business world. In fact, the tentacles of the Cosa Nostra extend into the most public of industries, including TV, film, and publishing.
When Truth magazine reporter Katherine Johnson starts looking too closely at the life of millionaire socialite and mob boss Jack Fox, however, the veneer of gentility dissolves immediately. Her body is found one morning floating in the East River, and the coroner suspects foul play.Wrenched by the pain of his loss, her ex-husband--former FBI agent Blake Johnson--decides to take the law into his own hands. In fact, as part of the secret White House department known as The Basement, Blake actually has the president's permission to take out Fox in the best way he sees fit. As Blake begins his Fox hunt, Day of Reckoning evolves into an international duel between the masterminds of justice and criminality. Blake struggles to exact his revenge by slowly undermining his opponents' businesses. And Fox matches him at every turn.While the contest between the power brokers is compelling on the surface, Higgins is unable to infuse his characters with enough life to make the story as engaging as it might have been. The heroes and villains borrow heavily from the classic James Bond play book, complete with brandy snifters, brandname cigarettes, Saville Row suits, and secret, world-dominating empires. It's fun to read as a sort of homage to thrillers of the early Cold War period, but Day of Reckoning never matches the success of such earlier Higgins greats as The Eagle Has Landed and seems to fall all too frequently into cliché. --Patrick O'Kelley

Le jour où il faudra payer

Le grand dignitaire nazi Martin Bormann est-il réellement mort le 2 mai 1945 dans le bunker de Hitler, ou s'est-il enfui dans un sous-marin pour l'Amérique du Sud ? Le nouveau thriller de Jack Higgins, qui mêle fiction et faits historiques avec une rare efficacité, nous entraîne sur les traces d'un des mystères les plus fascinants de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Ce mystère, Henry Baker, passionné de plongée sous-marine, ne se doute pas qu'il vient peut-être de le résoudre en repérant dans les grands fonds de la mer des Caraïbes l'épave d'un sous-marin allemand. Ce qu'il y découvre déclenchera une véritable bombe : une mallette contenant la liste des noms de tous ceux qui avaient juré de soutenir la cause nazie après la guerre. Parmi eux, Martin Bormann, le duc de Windsor et plusieurs personnalités britanniques dont certaines sont toujours en vie... Jack Higgins, dont les romans sont parmi les plus lus au monde depuis le succès sans précédent de L'Aigle s'est envolé retrouve Sean Dillon, son héros fétiche, pour une chasse au trésor mortelle où la piste des derniers secrets du IIIe Reich recoupe celle des réseaux terroristes d'aujourd'hui. Un grand Higgins sous le signe de l'action, de l'aventure et du suspense.

Dillon and company are back in the ultimate blockbuster from the legend that is Jack Higgins...

The Wolf at the Door

July 1940. England prepares for invasion, all eyes focused on its borders.

 But such focus inevitably leaves gaps elsewhere, and Hitler sees an opportunity to carry out an audacious plot that would change the course of the war.

 The Duke of Windsor, brother to King George VI and former ruler of the United Kingdom in his own right, is a target.

 Hitler's intention: to kidnap him and hold him ransom - the ultimate leverage against an embattled and beleaguered British government.

 But can it really be done? And who amongst the German secret services is audacious enough to set a trap to catch a king?
