Midnight Runner by Jack Higgins
Death is the midnight runner. - Arab proverb Higgins' last novel, Edge of Danger, was hugely entertaining, said the Los Angeles Times. The publisher describes it as a powerful thriller, and it's no lie. At its end, the murderous Arab/English Rashid family lay decimated - but not extinct. And that may have been Sean Dillon's fatal error.Her brothers killed one by one, Kate Rashid swears vengeance on all who have harmed her family. Never mind that they tried to assassinate the President of the United States, that villainy ran in their veins. They were her brothers, and her enemies would pay. British agent Sean Dillon.White House operative Blake Johnson.the President himself.their time was coming, and only she knew how - or when.
Brilliantly suspenseful, Midnight Runner is further proof that, in the words of the Associated Press, when it comes to thriller writers, one name stands well above the crowd - Jack Higgins.
Higgins, Jack: - Since The Eagle Has Landed -- one of the biggest-selling thrillers of all time -- every novel Jack Higgins has written, including his most recent works, The Judas Gate and A Devil Is Waiting, has become an international bestseller. He has had simultaneous number-one bestsellers in hardcover and paperback, and many of his books have been made into successful movies, including The Eagle Has Landed, To Catch a King, On Dangerous Ground, Eye of the Storm, and Thunder Point. Higgins, who lived in Belfast until he was twelve, had several close calls with bombs and gunfire at an early age. After leaving school at fifteen, he served three years with the Royal Horse Guards in Eastern Europe during the cold war. Subsequently, he was a circus roustabout, a factory worker, a truck driver, and a laborer, before entering college at age twenty-seven. He has degrees in sociology, social psychology, and economics from the University of London, and a doctorate in media from Leeds Metropolitan University. A fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and an expert scuba diver and marksman, Higgins lives on Jersey in the Channel Islands.
