About the Book

In the third novel of the Haug Quintet the action roars from London to an Eagle’s Nest in the Rockies and to Washington, D.C., as the British opposition joins with its American counterpart. The Secretary of State is implicated in the murder of a whistleblower in the pharmaceutical industry. The President himself is swept up in the turbulent action as this resistance to the sinister Community of Association – spearhead of the global cartel of multinational companies – is very nearly demolished. Beautiful Jennifer Montgomery sets out on a secret mission that leads to her personal degradation, while in England Haug makes dubious alliances with the largest and most dangerous gang in London. The hellish depravity and destruction of the finale threatens to skewer every hope as global profit engulfs the world in a mudslide of lunatic greed.


About the Author

Born in a small rural town in North Carolina, Bill Bailey began his itinerant life after graduating from a university with a degree in philosophy. Subsequently ejected by the US Army, he found work as a prison guard in Canada before briefly prospecting for gold in British Columbia. Having meanwhile accidentally married a Texan heiress, he moved to Houston, Texas, where he managed a ranch, scrambled motorbikes, rallied sports cars, worked as a bouncer, taught English and French, cut wheat and organised the first white collar union in the US meat-packing industry. Backing quickly away from Texas after stumbling into the acting profession he moved to London. Within a year of his arrival he became the first full-frontal male nude on the British stage. In the course of his acting career he has worked extensively in film – in Hollywood and Europe – television and London’s West End. He now lives with a foul-mouthed parrot called Dizzy.
