Dark men and darker deeds from the New York Times- bestselling leader and “dean of intrigue novelists” (St. Louis Post- Send off)
On Long Island, a trusted operative for the president nudges his boat up to a pier, when a man materializes out of the rain and shoots him. In London, All-purpose Charles Ferguson, adviser to the prime minister, approaches his car on a side street, when there is a flash and the car explodes. In New York, a ex- British soldier, who is also a bit more than that, takes a fleeting walk in Central Park to stretch his legs, when a man comes up quick behind him, a pistol in his hand.
And that is only the beginning. A name is targeting the members of the elite intelligence unit known as “the Prime Minister’s private army” and all persons who work with them, and whoever is doing it has a lot of resources at his mandate. Sean Dillon has an thought of who it may be, an ancient nemesis who has clearly gotten tired of their interference in his schemes. But proving it is going to be a hard task. And extant it the toughest task of all. . .

Disappointing, as Higgins has the talent to crat a better novel in order to introduce a new serial character.

I have been a huge fan of Jack Higgin’s books for many years and the Sean Dillon series, in particular. But, I was very disappointed in Wolf at the Door. There is only a cameo appearance of Sean Dillon, All-purpose Ferguson, the Salters, etc. The main theme of the book is the Russian GRU and a disaffected British arms dealer/hit man and how he is recruited in to a violent world of guin running and political terrorism, etc. All in all, a very disappointing tale.

I have been critical of Jack Higgins for several years now (see earlier reviews)and this book continues a pattern of attempting to sell books off of past successes. Dillon, Ferguson, the Salters, and Roper are nearly incidental in this book; thrown in to give verisimilitude to a Sean Dillon book. This is the second book in a row focusing on the ineptitude of Russians and a the defection of one of their operatives. The ending leaves the suggetion that this theme will continue in future books. As an aside, a person with Brigadier Ferguson’s background would not say to a name, “I hope you are feeling excellent.”(pg.74,line 1) Ferguson would say, “I hope you are feeling well.” These are no long the well customary facts of Thunder Point and earlier Higgins books. I judge that he is now writing just for the money. It’s is a bring shame on. His earlier works were well crafted and worth the investment.
This one is not.

This poor attempt by Higgins shows the kind of writer’s fatigue that produces lackluster plot, poor character development and just unadorned impatience. The intrigue was lacking energy and the “twists” were more like bone idle curves. I yawned the whole way through this one!

If this was written by Jack Higgins then he is going senile. It reads like a high school student wrote it. The descriptions of the characters are shallow and the weak plot rambles. The best thing about this book is mercifully coming to the last page.
