A Darker Place is the 16th horror and suspense book in the Sean Dillon series by author Jack Higgins. The content of the book is about the famous Russian writer and former paratrooper named Alexander Kurbsky who is fed up with the Putin government. He has no illusions about how welcome the news will be back home, having seen so many of his countrymen mysteriously die at the hands of Russian security services. He detailed plans with Charles Ferguson, Sean Dillon. The group is known informally as the “Prime Minister’s Private Army” for its escape and cover-up.
It was a real coup for the West except Kurbsky was still working for the Russians. The plan was to infiltrate British and American intelligence at the highest levels.
I ‘ve been a huge Jack Higgins fan for over 20 years. The last several Sean Dillon books that I’ve read repeated too many of the same formula elements, i.e. the boat ride to Ireland, plane landing in the sea, Blake Johnson getting ambushed, the same quote from Heidegger about resolute living and Dillon getting saved by his titanium waistcoat. A Darker Place does repeat most of these leitmotifs but it goes further and explores many new elements.
Sean Dillion is relegated to a relatively minor role. He is in the story throughout, but in the back row of the characters. My interest in the next book in the series is high because of the introduction of one or more new characters that I think can enrichen the cast of usual characters.
