Jack Higgins wrote thrillers and adventure fiction involving war, espionage, assassinations and professional operatives working across Europe. The Eagle Has Landed imagines a German plot to kidnap Winston Churchill during the Second World War, following a team of paratroopers and collaborators as the mission develops in an English village. A Prayer for the Dying centres on an IRA gunman trying to escape violence, while Eye of the Storm introduces Sean Dillon, a former IRA operative who becomes a recurring figure across many later thrillers. Higgins's books are fast, compact and built around missions, betrayals and characters whose loyalties are complicated by past wars or political causes. The Eagle Has Landed is the clearest standalone entry for wartime suspense. Readers interested in a longer continuing series can begin with Eye of the Storm and follow Dillon through the later espionage novels. Read more Less
