I 1944 bliver et amerikansk skib torpederet i Den Engelske Kanal, og oberst Hugh Kelso driver i land på Jersey, der er besat af tyskerne. Da Kelso er en af de eneste, der kender de allieredes planer for D-dag i detaljer, er det afgørende, at han ikke falder i tyskernes kløer – han må enten smugles væk fra øen eller likvideres. Opgaven lægges i hænderne på Special Service-agenten Harry Martineau, som får hjælp af den unge sygeplejerske Sarah, der er lokalkendt på Jersey. Forklædt som henholdsvis tysk efterretningsofficer og fransk prostitueret tager de til kanaløen. Samtidig arbejder den tyske general Rommel med at planlægge et kup mod Hitler, og for at camouflere et møde med sine medsammensvorne sender han sin dobbeltgænger til Jersey på en officiel inspektionsrunde. Scenen er sat til et drama, hvor alle spiller dobbeltspil, og intet er, hvad det giver sig ud for at være.

Toll for the Brave

In his first new paperback for HarperCollins, master storyteller Jack Higgins displays all his customary skills in a heart-pounding adventure with a less familiar setting – 19th-century rural Ireland – and featuring a swashbuckling new hero. At the end of the American Civil War, Confederate Colonel Clay Fitzgerald escapes to Ireland, where his uncle has left him an estate, only to find that Ireland is caught up in a civil war of its own. The struggle between the wealthy landlords and the impoverished tenant farmers is growing in intensity, and having just fought and lost a terrible war, Clay wants to avoid the coming conflict. But after witnessing the atrocities that the landowners visit upon the people, Clay is unable to stand by. Taking the guise of a legendary night-riding outlaw, he joins the fight against the landlords – and wages a rebellion of his own…

Pay the Devil

It makes life so much more interesting." Before long he is hauled into a chaotic chase involving The Red Chinese, and a lot of gold. From feeling he had lost everything to suddenly fighting for his life, Hagen must battle his inner demons and some truly terrifying enemies in a deadly game of power, action and murder.

July 1940. England prepares for invasion, all eyes focused on its borders. But such focus inevitably leaves gaps elsewhere, and Hitler sees an opportunity to carry out an audacious plot that would change the course of the war… The Duke of Windsor, brother to King George VI and former ruler of the United Kingdom in his own right, is a target. Hitler’s intention: to kidnap him and hold him ransom – the ultimate leverage against an embattled and beleaguered British government. But can it really be done? And who amongst the German secret services is audacious enough to set a trap to catch a king?

And everyone wants Fallon back… The Ulster Constabulary, who still have a king’s ransom on his head. His own colleagues, who use the dirtiest trick in the book to return their top operator to the front line.
