    About this audiobook

    Sean Dillon is thrown into a desperate race against time to prevent an assassination that would shock the world.

    When Paul Rashid, leader of the Rashid Bedouin of Hazar in the Persian Gulf, uncovers an international conspiracy to deprive his family of the oil wealth that is their birthright, he vows to gain a very public vengeance.

    The man sent to stop him is the British Government’s uncompromising secret enforcer Sean Dillon. It is a mission that will test him as never before, confronted by foes old and new in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse that will take him from Ireland to the USA, and from the heart of the English countryside to the deserts of Hazar…and the very edge of danger.

      I think Higgins changed his mind about this plot after he had begun writing. He carefully constructs a family (3 men and a woman, all siblings) and then sends them off on a murderous rampage. The notion that the oldest brother is mad seems to be a construct to explain the lack of a reasonable approach. Okay, but if that is so why do the other two brothers and the sister blindly follow? It is a stretch to think these highly intelligent and motivated siblings wouldn't at least suggest alternative ideas. To make the book a bit more enticing, there are continual face-to-face encounters between the good guys (Devlin, et al) and the brothers and sister. Devlin and company continually place themselves in jeopardy (not unusual) to do the honorable thing (not usual). At the end, we have only the sister still standing, and she is really conflicted since she clearly has a soft spot for Devlin and a promise to kill him. Far from the best of Higgins' work.

      The 9th book in the Sean Dillion series is an underwhelming entrant. Although fast paced initially and interesting with the lead up to the attempted assassination of the US President it quickly thereafter slows to a mediocre level of action with a large serving of cheesiness.The only thing that really remains with me having finished this book is the puzzlement at the sheer number of times Bushmills Irish Whiskey was mentioned. Never mind the gun play if anyone drank this much they'd probably be dead from liver cirrhosis, if seemed like every third page the characters were having yet another drink.
