Bloody Passage - Jack Higgins *****
Oliver Grant is a mercenary for hire. Only this time he doesn't want to take on the job for a mafia gangster. In order to make Grant take up the challenge his blind sister is kidnapped and a threat put on her life.
With this in mind he calls in a few favours and puts together a crack team. Things however aren't all that they seem.......
As usual with Higgins there is plenty of action, although occasionally cliched the story rips along with gunfights and death galore.
