Good Adventure Yarn
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
This is one of three books that Jack Higgins published under his real name Harry Patterson. Although based on John Dillinger the book is a work of fiction. After robbing a bank, John Dillinger flees to Mexico where he is essentially forced to work for the owner of a mining operation. Of course, Dillinger is not one to be forced into working for anyone and plans his escape - but other events overtake him. The story has some good twists and turns and plenty of action.
Dillinger-Jack Higgins
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I found this gem in my local library. Never gone wrong with a Higgins yet. By the way, this is one of three titles written under the name Harry Patterson ( aka Jack Higgins- in case you look for it). What could've happened to the romantic figure of Dillinger, the robin hood of the 30's... Filled with adventure! Apaches, bandits, oppressed local populace, corrupt police, bank robbery, evil villain, daring feats and of course a beautiful woman! I especially liked the fact that the old-fashioned and supposedly outdated concept of honor is brought into play. Throw in a tough situation, the rescue of a little girl, and the real good guys show themselves, get together and do what's right and the bad guys well...they just keep on getting crazier! This is a wonderful adventure. If you haven't read it I reccommend this book. Especially to Higgins fans, you probobly haven't thought of this one! lsmalmquist
