From the Author of, 'The Constantine Legacy ',
Shroud of Concealment and The Chimera Code. Andrew
Towning once again brings together an action packed
cliffhanger that moves at a relentless pace! This second
edition (re-proofed and edited) of Dead Men Don't Bite
is composed with intrigue, suspense and larger-than-life
characters. Dead Men Don't Bite, sees Jake Dillon
recalled back to London after a covert operation in Cuba
by his stalwart boss, Edward Levenson-Jones. The order
has come from former Prime Minister, Sir Lucius Stagg
because an international crisis is looming. The wreck of
a World War Two Nazi U-boat has been discovered in a
subterranean cavern on the treacherous northern coast of
the Channel Island of Jersey. It's exact location
remains a mystery, as the man who made the discovery is
deliberately mowed down on a crossing by a hit and run
driver, leaving him in a deep coma. In the U-boat is
Nazi gold bullion and the Spear of Destiny along with
other long forgotten secrets. The Spear - a mystical
spearhead, that has been chronicled throughout history,
which Hitler believed bestowed upon him the power to be
undefeated in battle. Dillon works tirelessly against
the clock to find the U-boat, but French billionaire
Hugo Malakoff wants to stop Dillon recovering the spear
for H.M. Government, he wants to claim it and its untold
powers for himself. Malakoff is a fanatical fascist,
obsessed by power and the deluded vision of a New World
Order. Sweeping from London to Jersey and back with
ever-growing momentum, Dead Men Don't Bite brings
together a remarkable set of heroes and villains in the
most desperate struggle of their lives. It is a complex,
brilliantly executed story of highly-explosive secrets,
wartime betrayal and extreme danger above and below
water.
