The Dark Side of the Island

Jack Higgins: The Dark Side of the Island (USA 2010)

From the Publisher:
A former WWII intelligence agent searches for redemption in this thriller by the New York Times-bestselling author of The Midnight Bell.

It's been nearly twenty years since Hugh Lomax set foot on the Greek island of Kyros. During World War II, British Intelligence sent him there on a mission to take out a high-tech German radar station. Aided by the local resistance, he succeeded -- but was also captured and spent the rest of the war imprisoned.

Now, he's returned. But he is far from welcome.

When he reunites with someone he thought an old friend, the man threatens to kill him. The local authorities make it clear that he should leave and never come back. Because although he thought he had helped save Kyros, Lomax soon learns that his former comrades believe he turned traitor in captivity -- a betrayal that cost many lives.

Unwilling to live with the betrayal, Lomax must delve into the violent past and dig into the unfamiliar present to find the man who stained his name with the blood of his friends. But this secret enemy is still watching his every move, waiting to silence him forever...

Written before his novel The Eagle Has Landed took the world by storm, Jack Higgins's adventure of war and treachery showcases his absolute mastery of combining plot, action, and vividly drawn characters into the perfect thriller.

The Dark Side of the Island

Jack Higgins: The Dark Side of the Island (UK 2010)

From the Publisher:
Reissue of the timeless Higgins classic...
Captain Hugh Lomax's last view of Kyros had been as a German prisoner of war. The picturesque beauty of the Greek Islands hiding their blood-drenched history and the terrifying carnage that took place years earlier.

But there are questions still unanswered. Lomax knows he was innocent, and as he returns to Kyros he begins to remember things he had long since buried in the back of his mind; the deadly mission he undertook, as well as a horrific massacre that still remains without reason. Now, the time has come for answers.

Lomax is set to unlock the secrets of his past; someone betrayed the islanders at the height of the Nazi occupation, and they want their secret kept, whatever it takes, whoever has to suffer.

Jack Higgins: The Dark Side of the Island. Harpercollins, ISBN: 9780007234905 (May, 2010), 275 p., £7.99.
