Dark Justice (Sean Dillon #12)

Dark Justice by Jack Higgins is the twelfth book featuring Sean Dillon. After three books that I found not quite up to the Higgins standard, this book proves he is a great writer of thrillers.

When an assassination attempt on the President of the United States fails, the assassin is traced back to England. Dillon, Ferguson, and Bernstein are tasked with finding out who hired the man.

But the plot at the end of the trail is a terrorist organization whose main recruiter is an imam in London. When he is taken by Dillon, Hannah Bernstein - who has always had difficulty with their work outside of the law - may have finally had enough. She will have to examine her role in the fight against terror in comparison to her own ethics and laws.

Dark Justice is a thriller that will have readers up late and then scrambling for the next book to see the consequences of this one.
