Bloody Passage

By Jack Higgins

A classic thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Eagle Has Landed.

Oliver Grant is a decorated soldier, Military Intelligence Major and a case-hardened mercenary. So when the stepson of a Mafia boss is kidnapped and taken to a Libyan prison fortress, Grant is the perfect choice to carry out the rescue.

Except for one detail: he doesn’t want the job.

In an attempt to change his mind, Grant’s young sister is snatched and he is forced to comply – he knows that the Mafia don’t make idle threats.

But then Grant’s beautiful, innocent lover also disappears, and he realises that he is involved in a game that will be played to the death…

Bloody Passage - Jack Higgins *****Oliver Grant is a mercenary for hire. Only this time he doesn't want to take on the job for a mafia gangster. In order to make Grant take up the challenge his blind sister is kidnapped and a threat put on her life.With this in mind he calls in a few favours and puts together a crack team. Things however aren't all that they seem.......As usual with Higgins there is plenty of action, although occasionally cliched the story rips along with gunfights and death galore.
