Dead Men Don't Bite, sees Jake Dillon recalled back to London after a covert operation in Cuba by his stalwart boss, Edward Levenson-Jones. The order has come from former Prime Minister, Sir Lucius Stagg because an international crisis is looming. The wreck of a World War Two Nazi U-boat has been discovered in a subterranean cavern on the treacherous northern coast of the Channel Island of Jersey. It's exact location remains a mystery, as the man who made the discovery is deliberately mowed down on a crossing by a hit and run driver, leaving him in a deep coma. In the U-boat is Nazi gold bullion and the Spear of Destiny along with other long forgotten secrets. The Spear - a mystical spearhead, that has been chronicled throughout history, which Hitler believed bestowed upon him the power to be undefeated in battle. Dillon works tirelessly against the clock to find the U-boat, but French billionaire Hugo Malakoff wants to stop Dillon recovering the spear for H.M. Government, he wants to claim it and its untold powers for himself. Malakoff is a fanatical fascist, obsessed by power and the deluded vision of a New World Order. Sweeping from London to Jersey and back with ever-growing momentum, Dead Men Don't Bite brings together a remarkable set of heroes and villains in the most desperate struggle of their lives. It is a complex, brilliantly executed story of highly-explosive secrets, wartime betrayal and extreme danger above and below water.
