About this audiobook
A story of passion and heroism from a violent land – Mexico in the 1920s…
…a place and a time when life was cheap and survival was for those who fought dirtiest. A year after the Revolution, violent unrest still simmers across rural Mexico.
In the northern foothills of the Sierra Madre, the country's most renowned assassin turned psychotic bandit has dispensed with any need for rules. Plenty of men had tried to take Tomas de la Plata. But never another trained killer, who is fighting to escape the death sentence.
Emmet Keogh fled a bitter war in Ireland, only to find himself halfway across the world and on the wrong side of the law. Now he has a choice. To kill the most dangerous man in Mexico – or face death by firing squad.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Another early Higgins offering, originally published under the name James Graham.What do you get if you take a bank robbing priest, a gun running businessman and an ex IRA hitman and set them in 1920's Mexico?The answer is a thrilling novel that makes the pages fly by at an alarming rate. The 3 characters are introduced early on in the novel and are forced to work together to kill a very dangerous man in exchange for their freedom. The novel details their adventures along the way and allows the reader to experience the full terror of post revolution mexico. Expect many an individual to meet a sticky end in the usual way.Again this book is written in the first person which really allows you to feel the tension build and when it's released you race along the page for the next action installment. Whenever I read a Higgins novel I feel as if I have just sat through an amazing action packed film at the cinema, complete with surround sound and 3D. I try not to start one until the weekend as I usually finish it in one day, they really are that unputdownable.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Set in Mexico in 1922. Features an Irish Republican Army protagonist and a fascinating "priest." Turns out the real author is Jack Higgins author of the Eagle has Landed. A couple of important characters are Yaqui Indians.
