Battling the worst man in the world

In this 11th November Man thriller, Bill Granger has pulled out all the stops. When R Section agent Deveroux's estranged girlfriend, Rita Macklin is gunned down by a sniper's bullet and badly wounded and Deveroux himself is nearly killed in a deadly bomb explosion, it would appear that Henry McGee, the self-proclaimed "worst man in the world" had finally won. Henry McGee is evil incarnate. His plan to blackmail a rich airline executive while at the same time framing the IRA for a terrorist bombing and various murders and other terrorist acts in Ireland with the help of female co-conspirator Marie Dreisler has Henry McGee at the peak of his evil genious. As the recovering Rita Macklin falls into the clutches of an over-medicating Quack-Psychiatrist, it is up tyo Deveroux to rescue her and try to start their life anew. That would be great but there is just one problem, the spectre of Henry McGee. Still feeling the effects from his many injuries from the bomb blast that nearly killed him, Deveroux sets out after McGee and attempts to stop and kill him. With many interesting plot twists and a brilliant finale, this quick read is definitely in the top 3 of the classic November Man/Deveroux series.
