A Fine Night for Dying by Jack Higgins, Martin Fallon
2.0
A fast, workmanlike thriller. Not bad, but nothing special.
It almost read like a knockoff James Bond story; something dramatic and bad happens, scene. Next, our hero gets his marching orders from M (as it were), and banters with a Moneypenny stand-in.
Next, he's off to fight/chase/fight the bad guys, protect the pretty girl, etc. He gets support from his network, so guns and supplies appear when necessary. There's an atmospheric bad-guy hideout in France, at the end, big fight, end. Ta da.
Eh. Higgins has done better.
