Rough justice

Sean Dillon returns in this fast-moving thriller. While keeping an eye on the unstable situation in Kosovo, Blake Johnson, right-hand man to the American President, crosses paths with Major Harry Miller, a British Cabinet minister who is quietly carrying out his own inquiries for the Prime Minister. A confrontation with a band of Russian soldiers on the verge of a brutal act draws both men in. Miller ends the standoff by shooting the group's leader, but the decision sends ripples through the lives of everyone connected to them, Dillon among them, and reaches the highest offices in London, Moscow and Washington.

The story follows how violence breeds more violence and how each act of vengeance invites another. As the chain of events tightens, the stakes rise for the men at the center of it and for the governments that try to control the fallout.

This is the next installment in the Sean Dillon series, for readers who enjoy international intrigue, political stakes and relentless action.
