Modern day Hardy Boys
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
This book was excellent. Well written, fast moving, and exciting. They remind me of modrn day Hardy boys and the old Bobsy Twins (since they are twins)I am 65 years old a a fan of Jack Higgins. I read it to be sure it was OK for my 12 year old granddaughter. They are definitely youth friendly. I found the entire series exciting to read.
This is Not Death Run But An Exciting Adventure

Once Again John Chance is called away on assignment while on vacation with his children Jade and Rich. This time to protect a banker who wants to do a death run (That is start a new life) away from a ruthless crime lord called the Tiger. Don't sleep on this novel. While it's a tamer version of Jack Higgins novels. It is exciting,suspenseful and full of episonage. And if you were looking for more action than surefire you get it with this novel.

Unbeknownst to Rich and Jade, their father, John Chance helps a mafia banker -called the Banker- to escape to safety. What the Banker does is he invest money other criminals give him, and he makes the criminals even more money. But Tiger, who invested all his money into savings, wants to get the keys to all the criminals' accounts. The Banker runs away to a small town. Tiger tracks the Banker to that very same town, where Rich and Jade are staying also. A mix up happens and Tiger's goons accidentally take Rich along with taking the Banker. Tiger doesn't know, but the Banker only knows part of the codes for the accounts. The other part is etched into a diamond. Rich has the diamond though, and now he is in Tigers castle. DEATH RUN is the second book in the Rich and Jade spy series. This book is pretty good. The only problem is that in the last book Jade got into trouble then Rich saved her, then Rich got captured and Jade saved him. The same thing happened in this book, too.

This is everything that I expect from a Jack Higgins book. It moves along and keeps you interested from start to finish.
