Produktbeschreibung

When a terrorist escapes prison, Scotland Yard's Jack Swann and FBI agent Johnny Harrison are on his trail in this "absolutely marvelous" series (Jack Higgins). Detective Sgt. Jack Swann, anti-terrorist agent for Scotland Yard's Special Branch, is breathing a little easier. The international terrorist known as Storm Crow is languishing in jail after threatening to ignite a bomb in London and plotting to unleash a chemical attack in Saint Peter's Square in Rome. Then, on his way to trial, the prisoner breaks free. He returns to the world's stage with a shocking act of violence-only to be trailed from the UK to the United States by Swann. And that's precisely what the madman wants. Enlisting the help of FBI Special Agent Johnny Harrison, Swann tracks his nemesis across the heartland of America-from Georgia to Nevada-in a bizarre spree of mass murders calculated to trap both men in an ingenious and terrifying endgame. Because Storm Crow is more insidious, and more powerful, than Swann and Harrison ever imagined. New York Times-bestselling author Jack Higgins called Storm Crow "one of the best thrillers I've read this year." Now the coldblooded terrorist is at large once again-and the stakes are even higher-in Nom de Guerre.

Autorenporträt

Jeff Gulvin is the author of nine novels and is currently producing a new series set in the American West. His previous titles include three books starring maverick detective Aden Vanner and another three featuring FBI agent Harrison, as well as two novels originally published under the pseudonym Adam Armstrong, his great-grandfather's name. He received acclaim for ghostwriting Long Way Down, the prize-winning account of a motorcycle trip from Scotland to the southern tip of Africa by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman. The breadth of Gulvin's fiction is vast, and his style has been described as commercial with just the right amount of literary polish. His stories range from hard-boiled crime to big-picture thriller to sweeping romance. Half English and half Scottish, Gulvin has always held a deep affection for the United States. He and his wife spend as much time in America as possible, particularly southern Idaho, their starting point for road-trip research missions to Nevada, Texas, or Louisiana, depending on where the next story takes them.
