Jack Higgins: Wrath of the Lion (USA 2010)

From the Publisher:
The hunt is on for a submarine prowling the English Channel in this undersea thriller from the New York Times-bestselling author of Rain on the Dead.

In the waters off the French coast, a predator is on the loose. The French submarine L'Alouette has come under the control of the OAS -- an ultranationalist group dedicated to maintaining France's dominion in Algeria. They have been wreaking havoc in the Channel's shipping lanes -- including the cold-blooded murder of a prosecutor who put several of the group's comrades in prison.

Former SAS soldier Neil Mallory is sent by British Intelligence to join with a French agent based in the Channel Islands. But even on the sparsely populated isle of St. Pierre, it seems their mission is being confounded by someone who knows their next move before they even think of it. And time is running short. Because the madmen aboard the L'Alouette are changing their course away from mere piracy and chaos toward something far worse.

With the worldwide success of The Eagle Has Landed, Jack Higgins established himself as a true master of the modern thriller -- and after decades in the game, his novels continue to electrify countless fans around the world.

Classic adventure from the million copy bestseller Jack Higgins
A rogue U-boat is patrolling the Atlantic coast, its fanatical crew ready to slaughter for a self-proclaimed dream of France. In the long dark years of the Cold War, not every battle merited centre stage. Many threats to Europe were imagined, but this one is very real.

L'Alouette has to be stopped, eliminated before all out war prevails once again. Only one man can stop the threat, and the prospect of peace in Europe rests in his hands. They call him 'the Butcher of Perak'...
