    About this audiobook

    It is night in Manhattan. The President of the United States is scheduled to have dinner with an old friend, but in the building across the street a man has disabled the security and stands at a window, a rifle in his hand.

    The assassination doesn’t go according to plan, but this is only the beginning. Someone is recruiting a shadowy network of agents with the intention of creating terror.

    Their range is broad, their identities masked, their methods subtle. White House operative Blake Johnson and his opposite number in British intelligence, Sean Dillon, set out to trace the source of the havoc, but behind the first man lies another, and behind him another still. And that man is not pleased by the interference. Soon, he will target them all: Johnson, Dillon, Dillon’s colleagues. And one of them will fall…

      Higgins takes us off on a new course ... the Russians. A fair amount of suspense has returned to the tales. Alas with both the General and the Superintendent out of action, it's to imagine where we head from here. Someway or another, there always seems to be a plentiful supply of Irish to fill out the lesser or transitory roles but with few of them rising to the level of the main characters. I'm looking forward to where we go from here.

      Was introduced to Sean Dillion in this series and found the read to be enjoyable and an easy read. Again, not one of those books that intrigue you as you try to figure out the plot/motive/etc., instead it is plainly laid out path, don't want to say predictable but if you've read enough of these type books iy can seem to be.

      This is the first Hoggins that I have ever read and I don't think I've ever read a book quite as fast before. Very pacy action thriller that doesn't let up from start to finish. It lacks a bit in detail and characterisation from what I would prefer in a book, but the action comes thick and fast. Reminded me of a Andy McNab novel a little

      Great intrigue and plot twists. A botched presidential assassination attempt leads to the discovery of a group of people intent on sewing the seeds of terror in society. An American White House agent teams up with a British Intelligence Officer to try to untangle a conspiracy web that is so widespread and shocking that even they can hardly believe their own findings.
