No Way Back

NO WAY BACK: The highly anticipated Lieutenent Ramaze Donadze thriiller from Bloody Scotland shortlisted author, AJ LIDDLE.

HUMAN LIFE IS SACRED. STEAL A LIFE AND DONADZE WILL FIND YOU.

Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia

Young women, taken from their homes, manipulated, commoditised and sold into prostitution—their humanity stripped bare. Modern day slavery—the scourge of our age. But when two women are murdered in a Tbilisi apartment, Lieutenant Ramaz Donadze investigates.

An embarrassment to the country's political leadership and considered merely collateral damage in a Mafia turf war, the victims might have been forgotten, their fate and the fate of others like them, whitewashed.

Donadze will not let that happen. Father to a baby girl and struggling to maintain a relationship with the woman he loves, he remains driven by the tragic family history he cannot let overwhelm him.

Passed over for promotion, Donadze is assigned a young and idealistic partner. Powerful forces confront them in their pursuit of the killers, but help may come from the most formidable institution in the land—the Georgian Orthodox Church.

Skirting the edges of the law, how far will Donadze go to bring justice for the dead and retribution to the guilty, the cruel and the contemptuous?
