Summary: A very good read
Comment: I first read this book over a Turkey BLT at Ruby Tuesday's before work. I finished the book when I did I read it again.....Set in Greenland Joe Martin gets over his head in a plot only Higgins could write.

Rating: 4
Summary: A most magnificent thriller in the genre of Alistair Maclean
Comment: Told from the view of the narrator, charter pilot Joe Martin, the tale was unfolded, introducing the desolation of remote communities in Greenland and how it affected the so-called civilised people when they left the exile of urbanisation and returned to nature.

What was it about Cape Desolation, one of the most challenging places in the world to survive, that attracted various folks who had been born and bred in the big cities? Movie stars, insurance agents, beautiful women all combined to produce volatile tension when an abandoned plane was discovered in the middle of nowhere with 2 dead bodies. A supposed griefing widow, an overly solicitious insurance agent, Joe discovered that greed can rear its ugly head in the most unexpected quarters.

In a fashion, this book followed the style of Alistair Maclean when the narrator described everything that he saw, heard and felt, but refrained from revealing all the knowledge available.
A good mix of mystery and turns, even if the excitement of the wilderness and artic aviation failed to rouse you, the superb drama between lively characters, with all the human failings and foibles would serve to delight and entertain, making this book hard to put down.

Rating: 5
Summary: Great book, reads fast
Comment: Higgins has again produced another classic book. Set in Greenland, Higgins has taken readers around the globe again in a fast paced adventure with an ending I doubt anyone not peeking will predict. I've read over twenty of his books, and this one is one of my very favorites.
