Description
Cold Harbour by Jack Higgins is a historical war thriller and the second instalment in the Dougal Munro and Jack Carter series. Set in May 1944 on the eve of the Allied invasion of Europe, the novel plunges into the tense world of wartime espionage during the final stages of the Second World War. When American OSS agent Craig Osbourne is captured at sea, his mission appears to have collapsed entirely.
That assumption quickly unravels when Osbourne is drawn into a covert Allied operation built on deception, infiltration, and high-risk intelligence gathering. Tasked with assisting a mission inside occupied France, he becomes part of an effort to secure vital information on German defences ahead of D-Day. As the operation intensifies, questions of loyalty, identity, and survival become increasingly critical behind enemy lines.
Fast-paced and rooted in wartime strategy and espionage, this is a strong choice for readers who enjoy military thrillers with historical depth and sustained tension.
