Touch the Devil

Classic adventure from the million copy bestseller Jack Higgins

If there’s such a thing as a grade A terrorist then his name is Frank Barry. His ideology is money and his track record is flawless.

When the Russians want review copies of the latest NATO missile system, Barry’s the man to deliver them.

Stopping him will be near enough impossible, but one man knows all the moves. Martin Brosnan is a poet, scholar and trained killer. A graduate of Vietnam and polished in the ranks of the IRA he could be the key to ending Barry’s reign.
There’s one problem, Brosnan is languishing in a French prison, and only the powerfully persuasive Liam Devlin can get him out and working for British intelligence.
