Solo - by Jack Higgins (Paperback)

About the Book

A father's quest for vengeance draws him into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with a veteran assassin. Piano virtuoso John Mikali's flair as a musician is matched only by his skill as an assassin. The trail of bodies he's left in his wake is proof. But when he kills a young woman while fleeing from a murder scene, the woman's father, a special forces soldier in the British military, vows to avenge his daughter's death. Now, both men are locked in a deadly game, playing for the ultimate stakes.

Book Synopsis

The New York Times-bestselling author of The Eagle Has Landed delivers a pulse-pounding story of a father out for revenge against a master assassin.

John Mikali is known throughout the world as a brilliant concert pianist and playboy. But his true vocation is far more interesting and lucrative: He is a peerless international assassin. His music and fame give him entrée to complete his assignments all over the world without fail. He believes himself truly untouchable--until he makes one fatal mistake.

Col. Asa Morgan is a military man to the bone. A veteran of wars both declared and undeclared, he's one of the most respected and lethal members of the British SAS, and utterly devoted to his country. But when his daughter is run down and killed by an unknown assassin making his escape, his sworn duty no longer matters. Now, his only mission is to find the killer before the authorities do--and make him suffer as long as possible before death.

Morgan and Mikali will stalk each other across continents, from bloody back alleys to gilded halls in a deadly game in which each man is both the hunter and the hunted. And only the winner walks away.

Recognized as one of the finest thriller writers of our time, the international bestselling author of the Sean Dillon and Liam Devlin series delivers "unadulterated macho adventure (and) suspense" (Houston Post).
