Book Description
A death in Brooklyn sends reverberations around the
world in Jack Higgins's thrilling new adventure.
Higgins's novels of honor, bravery, and irresistible intrigue
delight millions of readers every year, but few of his books
pack the sheer narrative power of Day of Reckoning.
"Katherine Johnson was a couple of feet under dark green
water. Her arms floated to each side, her legs were open, the
eyes stared into eternity. There was a look of surprise on
her face and she was achingly beautiful in death."
Journalist Katherine Johnson made the mistake of getting too
close to the secrets of international crime boss Jack
Fox--but Fox made the mistake of killing her. Katherine's
ex-husband is Blake Johnson, head of the clandestine White
House department known as The Basement, and with the
President's permission, the former FBI agent is about to take
revenge. Wherever the money trail leads--New York, England,
Ireland, the Middle East--Johnson and his Irish colleague,
Sean Dillon, plan to hit Fox where it hurts the most, by
cutting his illegal businesses to shreds, until Fox stands
defenseless before his enemies.
But Fox did not become powerful by letting his enemies get
that close. If Johnson and Dillon want to take him on, they
will have to face his own brand of revenge. And it is a
revenge every bit as deadly as their own. Day of Reckoning
is brilliant suspense--the master working truly at the height
of his powers. . . .
