Book Synopsis

A British agent goes behind bars to trap an elusive enemy in this thriller from the New York Times-bestselling author of The Eagle Has Landed.

As an experienced operative of the British Intelligence organization known as "The Bureau," Paul Chavasse is used to working behind enemy lines. So when he's approached with a mission that will land him in prison, he's certain it will be an easy stretch.

He's wrong.

For some time, a clandestine organization headed by an enigmatic leader called the Baron has been breaking prisoners out of confinement with military precision, only to disappear into the darkness once again. The next convict to be freed is most likely Harry Youngblood, a disgruntled associate of the Baron's who could be the key to the case.

All Chavasse has to do is get in good with Youngblood, tag along when his boss busts him out, and unmask the Baron. Then all he has to do is stay alive . . .

With millions of fans and dozens of bestsellers including the series featuring Liam Devlin and Sean Dillon, Jack Higgins is truly one of the original masters of the international thriller.
