Fear is the Key
Overview
A classic novel of ruthless revenge set in the steel jungle of an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico – and on the sea bed below it.
A sunken DC-3 lying on the Caribbean floor. Its cargo: ten million, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in gold ingots, emeralds and uncut diamonds guarded by the remains of two men, one woman and a very small boy.
The fortune was there for the taking, and ready to grab it were a blue-blooded oilman with his own offshore rig, a gangster so cold and independent that even the Mafia couldn't do business with him and a psychopathic hired assassin.
Against them stood one man, and those were his people, those skeletons in their watery coffin. His name was Talbot, and he would bury his dead – but only after he had avenged their murders.
Alistair MacLean's Fear is the Key is a masterclass in mystery fiction, with its international crime plot and technological elements setting it apart from traditional thrillers. Its status as a bestseller is a testament to its top-notch storytelling.
For fans of Frederick Forsyth (Revenge of Odessa), Rory Clements (Evil in High Places), Edward Marston (Murder in Transit), and Eric Ambler (The Schirmer Inheritance).
