… Something in the strange, touching, helpless figure of a girl by the roadside makes John Kelly, the protagonist of the novel, slow down. This chance meeting becomes a turning point in the fate of a former submariner—a member of a special, highly trained team. The girl’s behavior, the one who was picked up on the road, seems odd to Kelly: Pam seems to fear something. He is about to learn that Pam is a runaway—fleeing a gang of tough guys who force girls to sell drugs, after first training the girls to do it themselves.
A journey on a yacht becomes the beginning of difficult, touching, and tragic relationships that bring both heroes back to life. Worried for Pam’s safety, Kelly reports the gang to the police. The police’s betrayal will cost Pam a painful death. And Kelly—decisive, intelligent, and in good physical shape—decides to take the sword of vengeance into his own hands…
An edge-of-your-seat novel by the popular contemporary American writer Tom Clancy, author of the well-known bestsellers “The Sum of All Fears,” “The Hunt for Red October,” and “The Cardinal of the Kremlin.” This time, the novel is devoted to the fight against drug-business dealers on the territory of the United States, which “without mercy” is carried out by John Clark. A former Marine who has lost and then regained his love is ready to protect her by any means available—even in the face of a much more powerful and numerous opponent: the drug mafia. And he begins his war with no hope of victory. Without mercy.
