by Jack Higgins
In Jack Higgins's acclaimed bestseller Dark Justice,
intelligence operative Sean Dillon and his colleagues in Britain and the
United States beat back a terrible enemy, but at an equally terrible cost. One
of them was shot, another run down in the street. Both were expected to
survive - but only one of them does. As Detective Superintendent Hannah
Bernstein of Special Branch lies recuperating in the hospital, a dark shadow
from her and Dillon's past, scarred deep by hatred, steals across the room and
finishes the job. Consumed by grief and rage, Dillon, Blake, Ferguson, and all
who loved Hannah swear vengeance, no matter where it takes them. But they have
no idea of the searing journey upon which they are about to embark-nor of the
war that will change them all.
'The whole mise-en-scene feels dated, with little in the way of modern-day tradecraft or technology. Ferguson's admiration for his Russian enemies and bonhomie for Levin in particular seems plain silly.' - PW.
