Espionage

Well paced and with more depth in the characters than many of its ilk. ( )

i always like jack higgins. this wasn't exactly what i was expecing but it kept my attention and was a fast read. ironically now as i sit here in mcdonalds i can't really remember exactly what it was about sorry. ( )

A Fine Night for Dying - Jack Higgins *****

Higgins last book featuring the super spy Paul Chavasse :(

A gangster is wrapped in chains and thrown overboard in the English channel, a few weeks later his bloated body is dragged to the surface by a trawler.

The secret service know that people are being brought into the country illegaly, they just don't know by who or how....

Paul is sent undercover, posing as an Australian who desperately needs to get into England. He is soon put into the right track and his passage secured.

Things are not as they seem when he is put aboard the boat, somehow there is a chinese connection and things take a more sinister turn.

Another cracking, if somewhat short read, from the action master. ( )

Well written, An easy read. Fast paced. Well worth the time spent. ( )
