Jonas Merrick returns in another uncannily topical novel from one of the greatest thriller writers of our time.

A group of young Soviet Jews let their idealism get the better of them and they kill a policeman. One of their number is quickly captured and the others panic. They decide to hijack an airliner on an internal flight in order to escape to the West. Surely they will be welcomed ... They are not. No country in Western Europe wants to deal with this political hot-potato and the plane is forced to divert from country to country as it runs out of fuel. Finally it lands in southern England and a tense stand-off begins.

A son's race against time to rescue his father from death row in South Africa.

Barney Crispin, a Captain in the SAS, is a tough as they come. He is sent on an urgent mission to the Afghanistan border: to destroy one of the Soviet Mi-24 helicopters, a highly sophisticated and virtually invulnerable piece of military equipment, and retrieve the hardware. In order to do so, he needs the help of the Mujahidin resistance and must first train them in the ways of stealth and sabotage. But the guerillas he trains are ill-equipped and disorganised. Their attempt fails and several of them are killed in the process. Against orders and with only eight missiles and a local boy as his guide, Barney decides to undertake the mission alone, his own solitary battle for vengeance...

The first-ever returning central character in Seymour's storied career - Jonas Merrick, MI5's grumpy old man from The Crocodile Hunter, must find a mole in MI6 and thwart a Russian assassination.
