Detective Stories

Tamna strana otoka

Jack Higgins

Life is action and passion, which is why man is required to participate in the passion and action of his time, otherwise he runs the risk of being judged as if he had not lived.

These words could be the motto of this novel. Lomax is a man who goes through the hell of war (interned in a camp) and despite this wants to help the poor and primitive inhabitants of a small island in Greece in their fight against the Nazi occupiers. But he is accused of being a traitor and the civilian population suffered in retaliation.
