Floodgate by Alistair MacLean 1983 First Edition

A gripping disaster thriller packed with suspense and high-stakes action.

Good Condition – Light shelf wear and minor edge wear to the dust jacket, with light tanning to the page edges.

“A sinister terrorist group, the FFF, has caused the chaos.  The aim of the organisation is not to murder.  It is to demonstrate the destruction it can cause by blowing up strategically placed dykes and so reduce the Netherlands to a state of fear and helplessness.  And ripe for blackmail.
It is Lieutenant Peter van Effen’s mission to sabotage their plans.  Van Effin is a detective working undercover amongst the notorious Krakers – criminal gangs who specialise in drugs, in prostitution, in arms deals.  He also heads the Amsterdam bomb disposal squad.”
