The Dark Side of the Island

BOOK DESCRIPTION

A former WWII intelligence agent searches for redemption on the Greek island of Kyros – but he is far from welcome. When Hugh Lomax reunites with someone he thought an old friend, the man threatens to kill him. The local authorities make it clear that he should leave and never come back.

Although he thought he had helped save Kyros, Lomax soon learns that his former comrades believe he turned traitor in captivity – a betrayal that cost many lives.

Unwilling to live with the accusation, Lomax must delve into the violent past and dig into the unfamiliar present to find the man who stained his name with the blood of his friends. Written before The Eagle Has Landed, an adventure of war and treachery showcasing Higgins’s mastery of the perfect thriller.
