About The Keys of Hell

Super-spy Paul Chavasse – British Intelligence's most maverick agent – is embroiled in an deadly double-cross, in this new revised edition of Jack Higgins' classic spy thriller. The Chief of the Bureau has a ‘simple’ job for Paul Chavasse – slip into Albania and eliminate a double agent. Then he can take a holiday. The innocent-sounding words are the prelude to a desperate race against time which leads Chavasse across land and sea in search of a priceless relic before it can fall into the hands of political extremists. With a diving expert and midget submarines to help him, what can go wrong? But a trap has been set. For him. By someone who has waited a long time for revenge. As his escape routes are remorselessly closed off, the indestructible Chavasse, whom no one could ever out-think or out-fight, is now headed straight for destruction – for Hell … Reviews ‘Higgins is a master of his craft.’ Daily Telegraph ‘A thriller writer in a class of his own.’ Financial Times ‘A compulsively readable storyteller.’ Sunday Express ‘The master craftsman of good, clean adventure.’ Daily Mail About the author Jack Higgins lived in Belfast till the age of twelve.
