A man out for himself is pulled into a fight for something more in
this thriller by the New York Times-bestselling author of the Sean
Dillon novels.
Hugh Marlowe is a man with a plan. After spending five long years in
prison thanks to partners who left him in the lurch with some stolen
loot, he's getting out--and he's going to get his money. But his former
friends want it too. And that means Marlowe must go on the run.
The small village of Litton seems like the perfect spot to lay low. And
working for a local farm collective is the perfect job to hide his true
identity. But trouble finds Marlowe anyway when his employer comes under
pressure from a local big shot who doesn't appreciate competition of any
kind--and is willing to burn out whoever stands against him.
Desperate to keep his head down, but unable to stay out of a fight to
help those who have become his new family, Marlowe is going to have to
take on all comers--both old and new--if he ever hopes to be truly free.
Before The Eagle Has Landed took flight, Jack Higgins was spinning
tales of violence and betrayal, loyalty and love, and battles big and
small in his ascent to becoming the preeminent architect of the modern
thriller. The Thousand Faces of Night is one of his early tales of
suspense, and a sign of the outstanding talent that continues today with
Rain on the Dead, The Midnight Bell, and countless other
bestsellers.
