Confessionnal

The new bestseller from the original thrill-seeker -- Jack Higgins.

Without mercy

Deux frères. Deux ennemis à la vie, à la mort. Un seul enjeu : l'issue de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Harry et Max sont jumeaux, pilotes émérites, aviateurs nés. La Seconde Guerre mondiale va les séparer : Max devient un as de la Luftwaffe, Harry de la RAF. Des forces supérieures aux leurs ont engendré une situation si terrible qu'il leur faudra remettre en question tout ce qui leur est cher. Du succès de leurs missions dépendent leurs vies, celle d'Eisenhower et... le cours de la guerre. Dans la lignée de son best-seller L'aigle s'est envolé, un grand roman de guerre et d'aventures. Du grand Jack Higgins !

Le Vol Des Aigles - Occasion

Reissue of the timeless Higgins classic.

 Martin Fallon was one of the legendary heroes of the Organisation. A fighter in his teens, and a leader north of the border in his twenties. By the age of forty he'd spent nine years in prison, turned to the bottle and almost turned his back on the gun.

 The trouble is, the war isn't over. 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. And a beautiful woman named Anne Murray: the only confessor to the demons that a terrorist like Fallon will carry to the grave.

Cry of the Hunter

In Jack Higgins's new Mafia, no one wears gold chains or carries a tommy gun. Deals are done quietly and often resemble those in the "legal" business world. In fact, the tentacles of the Cosa Nostra extend into the most public of industries, including TV, film, and publishing.
When Truth magazine reporter Katherine Johnson starts looking too closely at the life of millionaire socialite and mob boss Jack Fox, however, the veneer of gentility dissolves immediately. Her body is found one morning floating in the East River, and the coroner suspects foul play.Wrenched by the pain of his loss, her ex-husband--former FBI agent Blake Johnson--decides to take the law into his own hands. In fact, as part of the secret White House department known as The Basement, Blake actually has the president's permission to take out Fox in the best way he sees fit. As Blake begins his Fox hunt, Day of Reckoning evolves into an international duel between the masterminds of justice and criminality. Blake struggles to exact his revenge by slowly undermining his opponents' businesses. And Fox matches him at every turn.While the contest between the power brokers is compelling on the surface, Higgins is unable to infuse his characters with enough life to make the story as engaging as it might have been. The heroes and villains borrow heavily from the classic James Bond play book, complete with brandy snifters, brandname cigarettes, Saville Row suits, and secret, world-dominating empires. It's fun to read as a sort of homage to thrillers of the early Cold War period, but Day of Reckoning never matches the success of such earlier Higgins greats as The Eagle Has Landed and seems to fall all too frequently into cliché. --Patrick O'Kelley
