The Killing Ground is a 2007 novel written by British writer Jack Higgins.
Kirkus Reviews asked, "Can any other thrillmeister equal the Higgins corpse-per-page count?" [1] Publishers Weekly said, "The proceedings are complicated; it helps if the reader is a veteran of this long-running series. But it's all pure Higgins: almost every shot hits square between the eyes, and all the characters are hard lads indeed." [2] David Pitt in his review for Booklist said that "the plot seems a bit forced" and that "there is nothing wrong with the novel, but there is nothing especially right about it". [3]
