The Midnight Bell: Sean Dillon Series, Book 22
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
“The bell rings at midnight, as death requires it.”—Irish proverb
In Ulster, Northern Ireland, a petty criminal kills a woman in a drunken car crash. Her sons swear revenge. In London, Sean Dillon and his colleagues in the “Prime Minister's private army,” fresh from defeating a deadly al-Qaeda operation, receive a warning: You may think you have weakened us, but you have only made us stronger. In Washington, D.C., a special projects director with the CIA, frustrated at not getting permission from the President for his daring anti-terrorism plan, decides to put it in motion anyway. He knows he's right—the nation will thank him later.
Soon, the ripples from these events will meet and overlap, creating havoc in their wake. Desperate men will act, secrets will be revealed—and the midnight bell will toll.

Bestseller Higgins’s routine 22nd Sean Dillon thriller (after 2014’s Rain on the Dead) pits the former IRA assassin against the new leader of al-Qaeda, who calls himself simply the Master. Dillon took out the previous Master, and his successor is plotting his revenge. Dillon’s allies include Vietnam vet Blake Johnson, who runs the Basement, the American president’s “personal security department”; and Dillon’s cousin Hannah Flynn, who, although just 19, “had grown up in an IRA family and knew how to handle a gun.” Hannah’s skills come in handy when she and another woman are attacked, but, as is typical of the genre, violent events that would unsettle a real person have minimal emotional impact. Characters act in reckless ways that will distance some readers from any sense of reality. Others may not care for the unsophisticated politics. For example, a supposedly savvy former president asserts that the U.S. thought at one point “that the deaths of Saddam, Gadaffi, and bin Laden would cure the ills of the Middle East.” Agent: Ed Victor, Ed Victor Literary Agency (U.K.).

Former president Jake Cazalet is taking it easy in the Virgin Islands after helping series star Sean Dillon block an Al Qaeda operation in London. Not that Al Qaeda is squelched altogether, which may or may not have something to do with a recent Washington, DC, hit-and-run death. Higgins first introduced Dillon in 1992's Eye of the Storm and nearly killed him off in that work but on his wife's advice relented, allowing his character to flourish through 21 books and four movies.
