Fear is the Key - Softcover
A classic novel of ruthless revenge set in the steel jungle of an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico – and on the sea bed below it. Now reissued in a new cover style.
Off the Gulf of Mexico lies a sunken DC-3. Its cargo: millions of dollars in gold ingots and jewels guarded by the remains of two men, one woman and a very small boy.
The fortune is there for the taking, and ready to grab it are a wealthy oilman, a gangster and a psychopathic hired assassin.
Against them stands Talbot, a man out for justice. He will see the dead given a proper burial – but only after he has avenged their murders.

Review:
About the Author:
‘So good I stole part of the plot’
Lee Child
‘Guns, gangsters, sudden death, terrific action on land and under the sea ... Fear is the Key has a plot that will require a lot of willpower to stop you looking at the last page.’
Sunday Mirror
‘Keeps tension at screaming point.’
Daily Express
‘Excitement and violence ... the pace never slackens.’
Scotsman
Alistair MacLean, the son of a Scots minister, was brought up in the Scottish Highlands. In 1941 he joined the Royal Navy. After the war he read English at Glasgow University and became a schoolmaster. The two and a half years he spent aboard a wartime cruiser were to give him the background for HMS Ulysses, his remarkably successful first novel, published in 1955. He is now recognized as one of the outstanding popular writers of the 20th century, the author of 29 worldwide bestsellers, many of which have been filmed. He died in 1987.
