Solo

By Jack Higgins

In the depths of a cavernous of concert hall, a gifted psychopath plots and waits, his thoughts on nothing but music and murder. He kills for pleasure, constantly searching, and with a brand new target in his sights, his mind spirals once again into torture and violence.

But this time, he has chosen the wrong victim; the teenage daughter of one of the most feared and respected SAS soldiers known; a man with more training and advanced killer instinct than even himself.

Now, the hunt is on. As soldier stalks maestro for a brutal vengeance, one attempts to outsmart the other in a deadly game of cunning, skill, and bloody expertise, building to a nerve-shattering climax.

Reviews for Solo

[henrimoreaux · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Some of Jack Higgin's books are a bit hit and miss with some being rather bland plot rehashes seemingly using cardboard cut out characters borrowed from other books with different names.

Thankfully this was not one of those books, whilst it does feature the same 'world' as some of the other books of his it is a stand alone story that manages to stand by itself.

Would recommend to those who enjoy reading stories of intrigue.

Typical Higgins - excellent story telling with a style that makes you want to continue reading. The two central characters were interesting with good support from an array of people. The book was not too long which I was grateful for as too many adventure stories go on forever without adding to the central story. Higgins managed to build the story and characters in just over 200 pages. Excellent bedtime/holiday reading.
