The Killing Ground (novel)

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

First edition (publ. HarperCollins)

The Killing Ground is a fiction novel written by Jack Higgins in 2007.

Reception[edit]

Kirkus Reviews said "can any other thrillmeister equal the Higgins corpse-per-page count?".[1] Publishers Weekly said that "the proceedings are complicated; it helps if the reader is a veteran of this long-running series. But it's all pure Higgins: almost every shot hits square between the eyes, and all the characters are hard lads indeed."[2] David Pitt in his review for Booklist said that "the plot seems a bit forced" and that "there is nothing wrong with the novel, but there is nothing especially right about it".[3]
