About this audiobook
Super-spy Paul Chavasse – one of Jack Higgins’s most extraordinary heroes – embarks on a mission to Albania, only to find himself at the centre of a deadly double-cross, fighting for his life.
It’s a trip that agent Paul Chavasse will never forget. His destination: the isolated republic of Albania on the Adriatic coast, at a time when the regime is at its most repressive and the people live in daily fear of the ruthless secret police. His job: to find a double agent whose cover has been blown and put him out of commission, permanently. But what Chavasse doesn’t know is that deep within the twisting channels of the perilous coastal marshes, someone has set a trap for him – someone who holds the keys of hell.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Another example of Higgins early work where he has written a new framework around an old story.Paul Chavasse in his 3rd outing under Higgins’s pen takes on a mission to help a woman he meets at an embassy dinner. She reports that she is trying to get ‘The Black Madonna’ (A religious statue) out of Albania but her brother has been killed in the process and the boat sunk deep in the Albanian Marshes.Enlisting the help of a colleague he goes in search of the lost idol. However, things and people are not what they seem and what follows is a tale of deception, deceit and death. A few nice twists but the story is one that I have read several times before from Higgins (Sad wind from the Sea & The Khufra Run).A nice try but doesn’t do it for me.
