From Publishers Weekly

The solid 15th entry in Higgins's Sean Dillon thriller series (after The Killing Ground) finds aging, arthritic ex-gangster Harry Salter retired from active operations, leaving Dillon, once the IRA's most feared enforcer, as the real leader of the loose gang of stalwart lads who covertly battle the foes of Western civilization. A newcomer to the team, Maj. Harry Miller, on the surface a mild-mannered MP who's in reality the British prime minister's secret hit man, hooks up with series regular Blake Johnson in Kosovo, where the Russians, intent on reclaiming old glory, are stirring up trouble. Meanwhile, Islamic fundamentalists are intent on bringing Britain to its knees. The action moves swiftly amid a variety of foreign locales, including Moscow, London and Beirut, to a climax that will leave readers asking themselves, evidence to the contrary, whether the great game is really over.

Product Description

Intrigue in the halls of power, blood in the streets- the master of suspense returns with a novel of dark passion and darker deeds.

After almost two score books, Higgins knows how to fire up a thriller," wrote Publishers Weekly about the author's latest book, The Killing Ground. "It's all pure Higgins: almost every shot hits square between the eyes, and all the characters are hard lads indeed." But none of them harder than the heroes-and villains-of Rough Justice.

Dispatched by the President to report on the state of still troubled Kosovo, his trusted agent Blake Johnson runs into a military man there named Harry Miller, who has the same task from the British Prime Minister. They band together just in time to stop a Russian officer from torching a mosque-or rather, Miller stops him, with a bullet to the forehead.

This action will have considerable consequences, not only for Miller and Johnson and their associates, including Britain's Sean Dillon, but for a great many people, all the way to the top of the governments of the United States, Britain, and Russia. Death begets death, and revenge leads only to revenge, and before the chain reaction of events is done-from Kosovo to London to Beirut to Ireland to Moscow-there will be plenty of both.

Rich with all the ingredients that have made the author justly admired, Rough Justice is further proof that, in the words of the Associated Press, "When it comes to thriller writers, one name stands well above the crowd-Jack Higgins." --Ce texte provient de la Hardcover édition.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Sean Dillon Meets Two Interesting New Characters, Nov. 1 2008
This review is from: Rough Justice (Hardcover)
If you like thrillers that feature Sean Dillon, you won't like this book as much as I did. Sean doesn't have a very large role.

If you like Sean Dillon as the unrepentant avenger, you won't like this book as much as I did. Sean shows a vulnerable side.

If you feel that the Sean Dillon books need some interesting new characters, you'll feel like Rough Justice provides a badly needed breath of fresh air.

If you wish that Jack Higgins would stop matching his avengers against the same bad guys, you'll be disappointed that Higgins goes over a lot of old ground in Rough Justice.

So what's it all about?

President Jake Cazelet's point man, Blake Johnson, is back early from Kosovo to report that the Russians are stirring the pot. He also tells a provocative tale about running into a British MP, Major Harry Miller, there who shot and killed Russian Captain Igor Zorin after Zorin molested a young woman. Cazelet tells Charles Ferguson, the PM's point man, that he should get to know Miller. Ferguson is intrigued and the two team up . . . with significant consequences.

Zorin is well connected in Russia and President Putin is alerted to his death. Although it's best to bury the incident, Putin doesn't like the interference with his plans to extend Russian influence.

From there, we learn a lot about Miller who has been an undercover agent for many years, beginning in Northern Ireland. In fighting skills, he's a lot like Dillon . . . but there the similarities end. Miller is married to a famous actress who doesn't know what he really does for a living. She expects him to attend nightly performances which he does his best to sandwich in between sanctions. As Miller's activities for Ferguson increase, the marriage's roots are shaken. Fortunately, Miller can rely on his sister, Monica, for sympathy and support.

Miller is a lot like Dillon: Shoot first and sort out the consequences later. As a result, his actions cause an escalation in tensions between the Russians and the British . . . and escalation that has personal consequences when he becomes a target.

In the background, a shadowy figure called the Broker is pulling the puppet strings to do the Russians' will . . . but not getting very good results. What will be the consequences for him?

Before the book is over, there's a classic battle in a familiar setting.

I thought that Rough Justice was the best Sean Dillon book in many years. The book was a little less predictable and contained two interesting characters, Major Miller and his sister, that were reasonably well developed by describing their deeds and words. The book's ending also suggests good things for future books in the series.

When a series starts to go downhill, it normally just keeps doing so. I am pleased to see new life breathed into what had become a series that offered too little variety and surprise.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Fantastic installment of fantastic series!, Sep 4 2008
This review is from: Rough Justice (Hardcover)
I could not put this book down! The action was great as usual, plenty of travel and adventure for all our favourite characters. Plus the addition of some new blood in Harry Miller and his sister Monica, who becomes a love interest for my fav hero Sean Dillon. I absolutely loved him, always sure of his gun but slightly unsure when it comes to love. In Monica, I hope he has found an equally strong partner. Highly recommend this!
