About this audiobook
A former POW hunts for the truth behind a web of murder, betrayal, and treason. In the midst of the Korean War, Martin Shane and five others were captured as POWs and tormented by the cruel Colonel Li. One of them revealed military secrets in return for freedom, but before Shane could uncover his identity, a violent explosion wiped his memory and confined him to the sterile halls of a mental institution. When he suddenly regains his memory six years later, Shane has only one goal: find out who betrayed them to Colonel Li. Shane seeks out the five men he fought beside all those years ago in order to expose a shocking truth behind the fateful day that changed all of their lives forever.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Martin Shane is back in his old neighbourhood, and he’s looking for revenge…After suffering an injury in the Korean War he was hospitalised with amnesia due to shrapnel lodged in his brain. A fall down a flight of stairs 7 years later causes the metal to move and the memories come flooding back….Captured as POW, Shane and 4 Comrades were tortured by the sadistic Chinese officer Li until one of them ‘spilled his guts’. This resulted in Shane’s best friend being killed.One by one he seeks out the remaining survivors, determined to find out the coward. However, what he uncovers is a trail of lies, murder & blackmail.Another Higgins classic, at only 185 pages the novel flies by. Expect a lot of action, a fair bit more suspense than the usual Higgins novel. Not one of his best, but very enjoyable nonetheless.
