Day of Reckoning (novel)

Her ex-husband, Blake Johnson, an ex-FBI agent now heading a special unit in the White House learns of the death, and he vows to destroy Fox and all he represents.

The next operation sees Johnson and Dillon join with a Mossad commando force to destroy a ship in Beirut harbour which is loaded with missiles destined to be used against Israel.

Dillon recruits Billy Salter, a young but enthusiastic London gangster, for the next operation, in which they land commando style on the coast on County Louth in Ireland to destroy a cache of weaponry in which Fox has a large financial interest.
