Title: A Masterful WW2 Intrigue
Product review: Jack Higgins is a masterful writer who revels in World War II intrigue evident in this interweaved story. The stakes are high: the imminent invasion of Normandy. It's May 1944. Colonel Kelso is injured and marooned on the German-occupied island of Jersey. The British select Harry Martineau to either get Kelso out - or execute him to keep the secret. Martineau enlists the help of a variety of characters - his French mistress, an Italian naval officer and a Jewish German paratrooper.Higgins' skills are a masterful ability to deceive and counterdeceive his character - and the reader - in a journey of excitement and adventure. His characters are well-drawn. The pace is relentless. The stakes for Normandy are high and well-known. As a companion to his earlier book, "The Eagle Has Landed", Higgins continues in a fine tradition of WW 2 Intrigue.Michael Mandaville, Author "Stealing Thunder"
