From the first name in heart pounding thriller fiction.

Ellis Jackson woke up hugging a twelve-bore shotgun. In the next room, his mistress and his best friend lay naked on the bed, their heads blown to pulp. Back in England at last, Ellis Jackson had finally cracked.

Active combat, a Viet Cong prison camp and the callous treachery of his lover and interrogator, Madam Ny, had taken their toll. Ellis Jackson was out of his mind. Or was he?

Maybe it would all have been easier to take if he really had been mad

Reviews for Toll for the Brave

Ellis Jackson hears a fellow prisoner-of-war being beaten to death in an adjacent room, then is told that he is next for execution. But Jackson manages to survive the Viet Cong's camp of hell and returns home brutalised and half demented by his experiences. Others think he has finally lost his grip on sanity when he is found with a 12-bore shotgun and the naked bodies of his mistress and best friend. Jackson refuses to believe he has gone insane, however. He is convinced that some power he can only guess at is trying to set him up for a purpose that remains unclear. Jack Higgins is in tremendous form in this story, first published under his Harry Patterson name in 1971. As always in a Higgins thriller the action is powerful and almost unremitting, and the main character is an engaging type you find yourself rooting for. A great yarn. (Kirkus UK)
