Clay Fitzgerald is an Irish American who had, until recently, been a colonel in the Confederate Army. He escapes to Ireland to take up his inheritance - an inheritance that makes Clay a wealthy man and a landowner. Unfortunately his arrival in Ireland coincides with the outbreak of civil conflict between wealthy landowners and impoverished farmers. Clay wants to avoid involvement in another conflict but is unable to stand by after witnessing the atrocities inflicted on the ordinary people. Taking the guise of a legendary night-riding outlaw, Clay joins the fight against the landowners and begins a rebellion of his own.
Pay the Devil (Audible Audio Edition) Jack Higgins Richard Poe Whole Story Audiobooks Books
We all know the spy thrillers Higgins has become famous for. This one is a great and entertaining departure. The dark hero, who would rather just be left alone, leaves his war torn Southern Confederacy to find solace in Ireland, only to end up in another civil war. Good at violence but despising it, wishing to not get involved but needing to in spite of himself, and the entire time quietly conflicted underneath by the morality of it all, Higgins designs a great character in Clay. I wish there were more books with this character as it would have made a great series. Stretching from the US Civil War to the beginnings of the troubles in Ireland this book is a little bit military thriller, a little bit spy book, a little bit social commentary and a lot entertaining.Product details

Pay the Devil (Audible Audio Edition) Jack Higgins Richard Poe Whole Story Audiobooks Books Reviews
One of the earlier books but I really enjoyed it and Had
to hunt for awhile to find it. Great author,
This is a Higgins title that was first released in 1963. And as an avid reader of Jack Higgins I truly enjoyed this one. It has a touch of "Gone With The Wind" to it. And characters I would like to see Mr. Higgins use again. The setting of the American Civil War and the early Irish uprising were a break from Higgins recent run of Sean Dillon works.
A good story never overdone ,a plausible hero,and outcome,considering clays experience in the American civil war.I could not find where the bullets came from.mbh
Instead of an historical prologue, history takes the fore and continues through in the telling of a great tale. Linking the "homeland" to the colonies, a lad seeks his roots, only to find life no less challenging at its source than anywhere else along the journey.
I've been reading Higgins for many years and never tire of his work. His characters are wonderful, and his storylines are unforgettable.
Typical Jack Higgins. Fast moving and filled with suspense, unless like me, you have read most of his novels and can anticipate the ultimate ending.
A very interesting and action filled story. The history of the last days of the civil war were very interesting. The decision of the Colonel to go to Ireland to me was a mistake. He thought that by going there he could fine peace, which was just the opposite. He got mixed up in the feud between the English and Iris. A very good story.
