Reviews for The Thousand Faces of Night

[bridgey_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Typical Higgins type of novel, not up there with his best but still a good read. If you are used to the Jack Higgins that gives blood and gore aplenty you may be slightly disappointed.Hugh Marlowe is fresh out of prison and already his past is catching with him. He has hidden the spoils of his last job and his old collegues want their share. He is forced to leave the area and comes across a struggling fruit farmer and his daughter who are being forced out of business by a local crook. Deciding to stay and help them he risks his freedom and identity. As usual with Higgins the story unfolds with many an unexpected twist.
