- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Originally penned in 1962 this book was printed once in the UK then fell out of sight until 1999 when it was restructured and reprinted in a revised format. Depending on your interests (there's no spy action here) this is one of the better Higgins books.The story follows a US Civil War veteran who migrates to Ireland only to find himself morally drawn into a conflict between an some English landowners and their Irish tenants. The characters aren't terribly deep and filled out but it is an quick and enjoyable read nonetheless about two topics which often aren't linked together.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A very different offering from Higgins, originally written in the early 60’s under the name Harry Patterson, it has been rereleased.The plot is set at the end of the American civil war. Colonel Fitzgerald is on the wrong side of the battle and must accept defeat. However he has been left a millionaire and property in rural island.With the war still fresh in his mind he leaves for Ireland with his black servant Josh. When he arrives things are far from the idyllic surrounds he was hoping for. He becomes disgusted at the way the English landlords are treating the peasants and is soon forced to take sides. Under the cover of darkness and dressed as the elusive Captain Swing he decides to make an example of the local gentry. However things soon take a disastrous turn of events…Not one of Higgins best, and the plot was at times repetitive. Worth a look, but try others before this.
