Description
Super-spy Paul Chavasse - British Intelligence's most maverick agent - is embroiled in an deadly double-cross, in this new revised edition of Jack Higgins' classic spy thriller.
The Chief of the Bureau has a 'simple' job for Paul Chavasse - slip into Albania and eliminate a double agent. Then he can take a holiday.
The innocent-sounding words are the prelude to a desperate race against time which leads Chavasse across land and sea in search of a priceless relic before it can fall into the hands of political extremists. With a diving expert and midget submarines to help him, what can go wrong?
But a trap has been set. For him. By someone who has waited a long time for revenge. As his escape routes are remorselessly closed off, the indestructible Chavasse, whom no one could ever out-think or out-fight, is now headed straight for destruction - for Hell ...

Jack Higgins lived in Belfast till the age of twelve. Leaving school at fifteen, he spent three years with the Royal Horse Guards, and was later a teacher and university lecturer. His thirty-sixth novel, The Eagle Has Landed (1975), turned him into an international bestselling author, and his novels have since sold over 250 million copies and been translated into sixty languages. Many have been made into successful films. He died in 2022, at his home in Jersey, surrounded by his family.
