The Dark Side of the Street (Paul Chavasse series, Book 5) Jack Higgins 9780007234851

For Harry Youngblood, escaping from prison is going to be easy.

But escaping his past could cost him his life...

Twenty years inside for one third of a million pounds: that was the price Harry Youngblood was paying.

Drummond is Youngblood's cellmate. He is also intelligence agent Paul Chavasse, working undercover. And when Youngblood is broken out, Chavasse tags along for the ride.

His objective is to break the crime ring headed by the Baron, to whom Youngblood is indebted. But Chavasse will have to get past a psychopathic henchman named Vaughan if he is to succeed...

Jack Higgins lived in Belfast till the age of twelve. Leaving school at fifteen, he spent three years with the Royal Horse Guards, and was later a teacher and university lecturer. His thirty-sixth novel, The Eagle Has Landed (1975), turned him into an international bestselling author, and his novels have since sold over 250 million copies and been translated into sixty languages. Many have been made into successful films. He died in 2022, at his home in Jersey, surrounded by his family.
