This weekend saw the announcement of the death of Harry Petersen better known by his own name of Jack Higgins. The author of countless best selling thrillers. Some of which were adapted for film and television. The 2 most famous examples being The Eagle has Landed starring Michael Caine, Donald Sutherland and Robert Duvall and A Prayer for the Dying Mickey Rourke and Liam Neeson. The latter caused a lot fuss when Rourke expressed his support for the IS A when promoting the film. Higgins novels tended to be RIP roaring affairs, for an example of this check his 2000 novel in which British black ops team takes on the Mafia, London gangsters,Irish and Islamic terrorists combined.
