Messe for en morder

August 1944. De allierede tropper er gået i land på Normandiets kyst, og på Østfronten er russerne i offensiven. Nu hvor Nazitysklands nederlag synes umiddelbart forestående, beslutter en lille flok tyskere i Brasilien at vende hjem. Motiverne er vidt forskellige: En far vil redde sine børn fra krigens ragnarok, andre vil gøre deres pligt over for fædrelandet, og en gruppe nonner vil yde hjælp til krigens ofre. På det gamle sejlskib Deutschland mødes de til en færd, der skal blive den værste i deres liv...

Stormvarsel

Ingen var nogensinde sluppet levende op af ’hullet’ i den ægyptiske fangelejr. Og Stacey Wyatt havde belavet sig på at dø langsomt af sult og tørst. Men så blev han uventet reddet af sin gamle ven og beundrede fører, Sean Burke. Det varede dog ikke længe, før det gik op for Stacey, at Sean ikke var kommet ham til hjælp af lutter menneskekærlige grunde. Sean havde brug for ham, som han så ofte før havde haft. For Sean havde påtaget sig en opgave på Sicilien, hvor Stacey længe havde boet, og efterhånden forstod Stacey, at det var selveste mafiaen, de var oppe imod...

Timen før midnat

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.

Dødeligt dobbeltspil

En mørk nat i maj 1944, en måned før D-dag, ligger den amerikanske agent Craig Osbourne i havet ud for den engelske kyst. Da en tysk båd dukker op ud af tågen og sætter kursen direkte mod ham, er han sikker på, at det er slut med hans indsats i krigen – og formodentlig også med hans liv. Men i stedet bliver Craig taget med til Cold Harbour, den hemmelige base ved Kanalen, hvorfra de allierede gennemfører overvågnings- og redningsaktioner ved hjælp af erobret tysk krigsmateriel og engelske soldater i tyske uniformer, og nu får han pludselig en helt ny mission i krigen...

Ukendt havn

Forfatteren bliver opsøgt af en ung kvindelig amerikansk historiker, som ved et tilfælde er kommet i besiddelse af en hemmeligstemplet britisk efterretningsrapport fra 2. verdenskrig. Hun låner Higgins en kopi, men bliver få timer senere dræbt i en mystisk bilulykke. Da Higgins vender hjem efter at have identificeret hendes lig, er kopien fjernet, og nu bliver han virkelig nervøs. Dokumentet ikke alene bekræftede hans egen version af Churchill-affæren, men afslørede en endnu mere opsigtsvækkende og dramatisk fortsættelse af sagen. Jack Higgins må have fat i Liam Devlin – hovedpersonen fra Higgins bog "Ørnen er landet" – for at kunne afsløre den kompromitterende sandhed.

Ørnen er landet/Ørnen er lettet

Ørnen er lettet

Oberst Raul Montera er sendt til Europa for at skaffe flere Exocet-missiler, Argentinas trumfkort i Falklandskrigen. Englænderne gør, hvad de kan, for at bremse ham – blandt andet ved hjælp af en smuk kvindelig journalist. ""Lad os bare se det i øjnene, Gabrielle, kun få mænd kan modstå Dem, når De gør Dem anstrengelse…" sætningen blev hængende i luften. "Aha," sagde hun. "Jeg skal altså gå i seng med Montera, lægge mig på ryggen, tænke på England og håbe, at han siger noget om Falklandsøerne, som er værd at høre på." "Temmelig stærkt udtrykt, men ganske dækkende!""

Exocet

Under sit besøg i Vestberlin den 26. juni 1963 holdt præsident Kennedy den berømte tale, hvor han sagde "Ich bind ein Berliner". Jack Higgins‘ "I aktion bag jerntæppet" tager udgangspunkt i denne tale og skildrer, hvad der kunne været sket bag kulisserne. Fra østtysk side sætter man alt ind for at ødelægge virkningen af det politisk betydningsfulde besøg; men en lille gruppe mennesker forsøger med en dristig aktion at forpurre østtyskernes planer. Jack Higgins er pseudonym for den britiske forfatter Harry Patterson (f. 1929), som har skrevet en lang række krimier og spændingsromaner. Hans gennembrudsroman, "Ørnen er landet" fra 1975, blev oversat til mange fremmedsprog og solgte over 50 millioner eksemplarer verden over.
