Customer Reviews

Fast paced, action packed.

In Dark Side of the Street, British Intelligence generously allows Scotland Yard to utilize the services of one of its most able agents, Paul Chavasse. A mysterious mastermind known as The Baron has been busting dangerous criminals out of prison and Scotland Yard needs someone to convincingly pose as a prisoner in order to infiltrate The Baron's nefarious operation from the inside. Chavasse agrees to go undercover, even to the extent of pulling a brazen payroll robbery in order to get himself arrested. This early Jack Higgins novel is an excellent example of 1960s action-adventure British style. Though the plotting is a bit simplistic, Dark Side of the Street is a smoothly written, fast paced tale that grabs the reader's attention in chapter 1 and holds it until the very end. A 4 star effort. Recommended to fans of the genre.
