The people in Jack Higgins' newest blockbuster are:

Liam Devlin, remembered by everyone from The Eagle Has Landed (played so memorably by Donald Sutherland in the movie), has "retired" from subversive action and is a man at peace until the door of his cottage bursts open and an armed British captain of the SAS kidnaps Devlin and forces him to undertake a deadly mission.

Martin Brosnan, the Boston-born, Irish-American graduate of Andover and Princeton, learned to be an effective killer in Vietnam and can't stay out of trouble until the French lock him up on Belle Isle, the off-the-coast prison they now use instead of Devil's Island.

Ferguson, DI5's London head, needs to get Brosnan out to kill a man.  He never suspects that Brosnan would have a different target in mind, a woman named Margaret Thatcher, who happens to be Prime Minister of Great Britain.

Anne-Marie Audin is audacious in two ways.  She is perhaps the most famous female combat photographer since Maggie Higgins.  She is also in love with Martin Brosnan, who rescued her in Vietnam a millisecond before she was to be shot.

Frank Barry kidnaps Anne-Marie, the restless lamb tied to the stake.  His real target is Martin.  And the man who literally calls his shots is Nicolai Belov, resident head of the KGB.

Lights, camera, and the action begins.  Jack Higgins, a storyteller with an audience of millions and seven previous bestsellers in a row, delivers scene after breathless scene as Touch the Devil rushes toward its stupendous climax.
