More DescriptionWarning: a small number of reviewers have commented on the sex and violence in this series. It is not Jack's intent to offend in any way, so please exercise caution if you are offended by either of these points.To Pay the Devil is the sequel to the best-selling Hell's Garden. Excerpts from recent UK reviews of Hell's Garden:'I loved this book from beginning to end and couldn't stop reading it. I would recommend any who love crime novels to read it and can't wait for the next volume.''Could not tear myself away from this book. Fast moving and interesting giving an opportunity to think about the wealth that the top 'growers and dealers' have.''I'm glad I checked it out, Jack Heaton has created a fast-paced, hard-hitting thriller, populated by believable characters. He writes well too, with a nicely ironic, reflective style and convincing dialogue.''A very readable thriller, good characterisation and plot. More likeable than Jack Reacher.'Synopsis:Jacob Daedalus returns as the reluctant head of a covert crime-fighting organisation, funded by a major drugs enterprise, which exists to serve the whims of European politicians. He is thrown into an international race to stop Helena Mosquera, a vicious Colombian drug baroness, from destroying American society as she bids to reverse the legalisation of cannabis.Mosquera gains access to the meteorite which wrought violence across Europe in Hell's Garden and wages an insidious war on America, causing widespread mayhem and panic.Jacob and Chief Inspector Rebecca Watson are summoned to the White House. They are forced to use their resources and experience to trace the source of the carnage. However, powerful international forces are conspiring against them and soon they are fighting for their lives and the lives of those nearest to them.Now Jacob must survive the combined onslaught of Mosquera, a shadowy organisation known as the Collective and factions within the US Government itself to try and restore peace to a ravaged America.
