About this audiobook
The death of a gangster draws super-spy Paul Chavasse into a breathtaking adventure on the high seas – an unforgettable tale from one of the true masters of modern thriller writing, the bestselling author of Midnight Runner and The Keys of Hell.
Caught in the nets of a local fishing boat, the body of gangland boss Harvey Preston is dragged from the English Channel, wrapped from head to toe in heavy chain. British intelligence suspects a connection with a cross-channel smuggling ring. But as undercover agent Paul Chavasse embarks on what will be one of the most dangerous cases in his extraordinary career, he soon discovers that this is no small-time operation – and the ruthless men behind it will stop at nothing to protect their precious cargo.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A Fine Night for Dying - Jack Higgins *****Higgins last book featuring the super spy Paul Chavasse :(A gangster is wrapped in chains and thrown overboard in the English channel, a few weeks later his bloated body is dragged to the surface by a trawler.The secret service know that people are being brought into the country illegaly, they just don't know by who or how....Paul is sent undercover, posing as an Australian who desperately needs to get into England. He is soon put into the right track and his passage secured.Things are not as they seem when he is put aboard the boat, somehow there is a chinese connection and things take a more sinister turn.Another cracking, if somewhat short read, from the action master.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Well written, An easy read. Fast paced. Well worth the time spent.
