A disturbing audiotape has made its way to General Charles Ferguson, adviser to the Prime Minister, and from him to the President of the United States: battlefield chatter from an ambush in Helmand province, Afghanistan, in which twelve U.S. Army Rangers and a British medical team died. Most of the Taliban voices are Afghan, but not all of them — shockingly, some of them are British, and one in particular, the voice of the commander, bears an Irish accent.

Publisher's Summary
It's a real coup for the West except for one thing: Kurbsky is still working for the Russians. The plan is to infiltrate British and American intelligence at the highest levels, and he has his own motivations for doing the most effective job possible. He does not care what he has to do or where he has to go...or whom he has to kill.

Best Jack Higgins book in several years
I 've been a huge Jack Higgins fan for over 20 years. The last several Sean Dillon books that I've read repeated too many of the same formula elements, i.e. the boat ride to Ireland, plane landing in the sea, Blake Johnson getting ambushed, the same quote from Heidegger about resolute living and Dillon getting saved by his titanium waistcoat. A Darker Place does repeat most of these leitmotifs but it goes further and explores many new elements.
Sean Dillion is relegated to a relatively minor role. He is in the story throughout, but in the back row of the characters. My interest in the next book in the series is high because of the introduction of one or more new characters that I think can enrichen the cast of usual characters.

Enjoy Sean Dillon
Glad Sean finally has a girl friend. He's reason I keep reading the books although he's not as prominent as he used to be. It was nice to see how Roper was injured.

very good book with suspense & brilliant imagery!
I started reading Jack Higgins over 10 years ago but never listens to one of his books until a few months ago now when I suggested him as a good read to my husband. Very good book with suspense & brilliant imagery! It is non-stop action and never ending sabotage or betrayal between countries and within groups with so many twists and turns.I have become addicted thanks to road trips with my husband listening instead of reading to finish and not stop listening. 😘 The characters from a narrative stand point are well defined which I think is not an easy thing to do for one person reading the voices of often 9 or more characters with various nationalities. It's a truly talented person to pull that off and the reader to forget that it is one person reading the character and not actually a bunch of real people 😉
