A high-intensity Sean Dillon thriller where a kidnapping ignites a dangerous international showdown.
When a young woman is kidnapped in Iraq, former IRA enforcer turned covert intelligence operative Sean Dillon and his team are called in. What begins as a rescue mission quickly escalates into a deadly confrontation with a powerful and ruthless enemy—one who is determined to make the operation personal.
The Killing Ground by Jack Higgins brings readers straight into the heart of global conflict with a fast-moving, high-stakes thriller. When Kate Rashid, the adopted daughter of a wealthy and influential family, is taken hostage, British intelligence turns to Sean Dillon to intervene.
Dillon soon realizes this is no ordinary abduction. The kidnappers have ties to extremist groups, government corruption, and dangerous operatives willing to kill without hesitation. As the team follows the trail across Europe and the Middle East, they uncover a plot with implications far beyond a single hostage.
With its tense pacing, sharp dialogue, and globe-spanning action, The Killing Ground is classic Higgins—full of danger, espionage, and relentless momentum.
