Описание: To some people Mike Devon is a highly trained counter-terrorism operative. To others, he's little more than a Government-sanctioned assassin. Either way, Devon always takes the line of least resistance to get the job done - particularly when he's faced with two al-Qaeda leaders preparing to unleash a new terror campaign against America and its European allies.But Devon also has to deal with a sinister Russian oil billionaire, pulling the strings in a determined bid to return to the days of East-West conflict. Somehow, Devon must foil a plot to blow up the Eiffel Tower, and stop the assassination of some of the world's leading businessmen in a roller-coaster that becomes highly personal, and threatens the lives of the people he loves most.The stakes couldn't be higher.

Описание: As the search for peace in Ireland gathers momentum, British counter-terrorism agent, Mike Devon, is handed a chilling mission - put the IRA out of business at any cost.He assembles an elite undercover squad determined to neutralise the entire IRA leadership. Kidnap, torture and shoot-to-kill tactics are all on Devon's agenda as he sets about the task with a ruthlessness the IRA has never before had to face.But the IRA has its own specialist operative. Cold-hearted assassin Fergal McSweeney is brought out of semi-retirement to launch one final murderous campaign against the British establishment.Before settling for peace both sides are determined to first win the ultimate victory.Devon and McSweeney had clashed years before in Chicago in an operation that ended the life of the British agent's girlfriend. Now it has become personal.The action races from Chicago to London, and from Belfast to Glasgow, before climaxing in a final bloody showdown in the suburbs of Dublin.When the dust settles who will walk away?Someone Has To Pay is the debut thriller of Irish writer Joe McCoubrey, a former journalist who worked through the worst of the Irish troubles. His insight and knowledge of the period provides an authentic backdrop for a story as uncompromising as the people and events that shaped the history of a troubled land.

Описание: This catalogue focuses on the artist's graphic production from the period after 1982 with works from the UBS Art Collection. Freud's (1922-2011) portraits-often of the same subjects he painted-manage to encompass his own psyche, the models' responses and our own reactions. "My work," he said, "is purely autobiographical. It is about myself and my surroundings." In an etching, the subject is scored into a metal plate covered with a wax mixture, which, after immersion in an acid bath, exposes the scorings, which are left as black lines in the finished print. Readers get even closer access to this involved and nontraditional printmaking process, as the volume is supplemented with ten stages of a print from a private collection in England.
