What to expect

On the day the US President is entertained by the British Prime minister, a fanatical mullah accuses the President of war crimes, offering eternal paradise to anyone who will assassinate him. It is an open call to rain blood and fire on the streets of London. And it’s about to be answered.

Sean Dillon, Major Ferguson and Daniel Holley are rushed into action to combat a huge upsurge in terrorism, helped by extraordinary new recruit, Intelligence Corps Captain and Afghan war hero, Sara Gideon.

With enemies on all sides, they discover that, though bin Laden may be gone, the threat remains as terrible as ever. A devil is waiting for them, and the assassination plot is only the beginning.

A Devil is Waiting. The blistering new adventure of murder, terrorism, and revenge from the legendary bestselling author, Jack Higgins.
