El Círculo Azul es un cartel criminal que hace fortunas de las drogas y la prostitución. Su poder se extiende por todo el mundo. Entre sus víctimas figura la madre de Michael, hijo adoptivo de Creasy -legendario mercenario-. Michael está decidido a no detenerse hasta dar con los que destruyeron a su madre. Creasy, sin embargo, no se conmueve ante el deseo de venganza de su hijo, hasta que conoce a Juliet, una chica de trece años adicta a la heroína por obra del Círculo. Comienza entonces una cacería humana feroz y despiadada por desentramar y destruir El Círculo Azul.

“I lost half a useless finger and gained a lovely handkerchief.” Ahh... Creasy... :-) I love that guy!

This story is also about revenge, but this time it is Michael, Creasy's son, who spearheads the mission. He is after the Blue Ring, a group that may have turned his own mother into a drug addicted prostitute, and countless other girls in the past two decades. Creasy, Michael, and their gang of friends/mercs take on the Blue Ring - with a vengeance! And along the way, the add Juliet to their family!

It's a nice, action filled story, and a good third book in this series. I really like Creasy, and I'd like to see him more on his own, but the group he gathers is fun too! I'm eager to read the fourth title soon!

On an aside, I was shocked at how much the prologue mirrors the plot of the movie "Taken", with Liam Neeson. That movie came out in 2008, fifteen years after this book was published. This book even has a bit about Albania, which is also in the movie. I wonder if Mr. Quinnell deserves a little bit of that movie money?... ( )
