Marter terrorist Sean Dillon has slipped through the hands of authorities on every continent, hiding in the anonymity of the underworld. But it is during the Gulf War, when British and American forces are closing in on Saddam Hussein, that Dillon once again re-emerges in the eye of Saddam's storm. As Dilllon's skills surpass those of famed international fugitive "Carlos, the Jackal," Hussein's operatives hire him to plot an attempt on Margaret Thatcher's life. His ultimate goal, however, is a mortar launch against the War Cabinet during a meeting at 10 Downing Street. Martin Brosna, an America Special Forces hero, is recruited by British Intelligence to stop him. Just as Dillon in within Brosnan's grasp, he slips away again. A deadly cat and mouse game unfolds, as the odds stack against Dilllon's capture.

      Higgins's thrillers may evoke a strong sense of deja vu (same basic story, different time frame), but that doesn't seem to diminish the impact of each new novel. Early in 1991, while the Gulf war is in full bloom, operatives of Saddam Hussein hire legendary terrorist Sean Dillon to take the war to the enemy. A master of disguise and subterfuge, Dillon began his career with the IRA, earning the enmity of Liam Devlin--the unforgettable antihero of The Eagle Has Landed , who makes a featured appearance here--and of Martin Brosnan, an American Special Forces hero and IRA member turned college professor. After Dillon's attempt to assassinate former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher during a visit to France fails, he decides to go after her successor, John Major, and his War Cabinet with a mortar attack on 10 Downing Street. Learning that British Intelligence is recruiting Brosnan to track him down, Dillon confronts his old enemy, a meeting that ends in tragedy and leaves Brosnan bitterly committed to revenge. Although readers can be sure that Dillon's scheme will be foiled, fun remains in the how and why. Standard Higgins in style, plot and resolution, this is bound for bestsellerdom.
