During World War II, an American colonel with secrets about the Normandy invasion is stranded on an occupied island. A British agent must rescue him or prevent him from falling into German hands.
The Night of the Fox by Jack Higgins is a suspenseful war espionage novel set in 1944, just before the Allied invasion of Normandy. After a German submarine sinks an American convoy in the English Channel, one of the survivors – Colonel Hugh Kelso – swims to safety by swimming to the island of Jersey, then under German occupation. Kelso has valuable information about the exact plan for the invasion, and the command in London fears that his capture could jeopardize the entire operation Overlord. Therefore, the British secret service sends its best agent, Harry Martin, a former philosophy professor from Oxford, who must disembark on the island disguised as an SS officer. His mission is to extract Kelso – or, failing that, silence him. The situation is further complicated by the arrival of Field Marshal Rommel’s double, the “Desert Fox”, involved in a plot against Hitler. The novel combines tension, action, and moral dilemmas, showing how war blurs the line between duty and conscience.
