Drink with the Devil by Jack Higgins

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


DRINK WITH THE DEVIL is the first Harry Patterson book(writing as Jack Higgins) I have read. Other than the protagonist's character being a little campy, I liked the story and the character development. Not a huge problem, Tom Clancy did the same thing with Jack Ryan. The guy is just too special. The story involves the IRA's infiltration of a Protestant paramilitary plot to hijack a shipment of gold bullion. The armored truck is loaded on a ship which sinks during the attempt. The "plot holes" another reviewer was bothered by on Amazon Reviews didn't cause me any problems. The proof of the pudding is that I'm planning on reading more of Patterson's books. DRINK WITH THE DEVIL is worth a read!
