Jack Higgins.

[Ian Fortytwo]

Henry Patterson passed away yesterday. His main novel was The Eagle Has Landed which he wrote under the pseudonym of Jack Higgins.

(I'm no good at adding a link from the BBC website, perhaps some kind person will do it for me. Thank you. )

I couldn't copy the BBC one, Henry Patterson, author of The Eagle Has Landed, dies aged 92

Probably best known for his novel The Eagle Has landed. But the first novel I read nearly 50 years ago was The Wrath of God. I still like that one best.
RIP Henry Patterson (writing as Harry Patterson, Martin Fallon, Hugh Marlowe, Jack Higgins or James Graham.)
