Without Mercy (Sean Dillon #13)

Without Mercy by Jack Higgins is the thirteenth book in the Sean Dillon series.

General Ferguson heads a team of Sean Dillon, ex-IRA enforcer, and Chief Superintendent Hannah Bernstein of Scotland Yard. Together with some outside help when needed - usually in the form of Billy Salter, London gangster - they keep Britain free from harmful Riffraff.

But in the last book, Hannah was severely injured. Now Dillon and Salter are the tools Ferguson will use to go after the group that hurt Hannah. And without Hannah, there is no one to bring up the legality or morality of what they do. In effect, Ferguson has a killing team.

Higgins has added a twist to the series that I did not see coming and its consequence will alter the mission of what is referred to as the Prime Minister's Private Army. Now the limits are gone and the team of Dillon and Salter will attempt things that could likely cause war between nations is they are not careful. Together they will cause havoc that readers will thoroughly enjoy.
