Keys of Hell; Day of Reckoning
The Keys of Hell
It's a trip that agent Paul Chevasse will never forget. His destination: the isolated republic of Albania on the Adriatic coast, at a time when the regime is at it's most repressive and the people live in daily fear of the secret police.
His job: to find a double agent whose cover has been blown and out him out of commission, permanently. But what Chevasse doesn't know is that deep within the twisting channels of the perilous coastal marshes, someone has set a trap for him - someone who holds the keys to hell.
Days of Reckoning
It's action and suspense all the way as undercover enforcer Sean Dillon and his intelligence colleagues help White House security insider Blake Johnson avenge the death of his ex-wife, a reporter murdered for getting too close to a Mafia story. In London, Beirut and Ireland, the daredevil friends risk everything as they combine to destroy the illegal businesses of Mafia frontman Jack Fox. But Fox has not become so powerful without learning a few tricks along the way. If Dillion and Johnson want to take him on, they will have to face his personal brand of revenge. And it is a revenge every bit as deadly as their own.

I still reckon the cover of this one even after a decade. How could I forget one of my first books and fondest thriller story that appealed to my untamed mind when I was in school
The Keys of Hell by Jack Higgins is a superlative espionage story which you shouldn't read
if:
Your not a fan of European history;
OR
You have omitted the first set of novels by Higgins.
OR
Gold authors like Tom Clancy, Frederick Forsyth don't appeal to your style
If you wouldn't mind a thriller set in a classic time with brilliant convocation of characters (esp. Irish desendents) and gut-wrenching plotting of suspense and action, then this piece of fiction is for you.
