Description

The discovery of an arms cache bound for the IRA leads two agents to a terrifying cartel of arms dealers, the Mafia and international power-brokers all hellbent on destabilising the West. When the mission looks impossible, who do you call UNACO.
When a schooner is wrecked off the coast of Nantucket, a group of children discover a treasure trove on the beach - brand-new Armalite assault rifles destined for the IRA.

UNACO agents Mike Graham and Sabrina Carver, their working relationship as volatile as ever, are pitched into the investigation and they soon find themselves tested to the limit in a web of intrigue that takes them from America to London, Switzerland and Ireland.

Arms, drugs, the Mafia and an international power game are at the centre of this complex and compelling story which moves at a cracking pace as time runs out for UNACO and the forces of peace.

Alistair MacLeans Dead Halt is the fifth novel to be written by Alastair MacNeill from a MacLean story outline. Readers will find this novel offers the same suspense and excitement as the bestsellers by the master storyteller himself.

Author Bio

Alastair MacNeill was born in Greenock, Scotland in 1960. His family emigrated to South Africa when he was six, settling in the coastal city of East London. On finishing school he did a three year course in hotel management at the Hotel School in Johannesburg but, having nurtured a keen interest in writing since his teens, he returned to the United Kingdom in 1985 hoping to pursue a career as a writer. He submitted a manuscript to HarperCollins Publishers and, on the strength of it, was offered the chance to write a novel based on an outline by the late Alistair MacLean. He eventually wrote seven novels based on MacLean synopses and has also written five novels under his own name. He lives in Sheffield.
