YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE.
Ex-cop Dennis Milne is intent on revenge.
His best friend has been brutally executed, and Milne wants to know who did it - and why.
But London is a dangerous place, especially for a man like Milne.
Because although his former colleagues don't know he's back in town, it soon becomes clear there are people who do. And that they'll stop at nothing to get him out of the way.
From the beaches of the Philippines to the mean streets of London, a hunt for justice becomes a terrifying battle for survival...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Kernick (The Crime Trade) blurs the line between the right and wrong sides of justice in his fourth novel, a tense tale about a British cop turned vigilante-for-hire. Det. Sgt. Dennis Milne fled London for the Philippines after murdering innocent men he mistook for scumbags. Three years later, after changing his name to Mick Kane, he earns a living in Sabang Bay offing bad guys for pay; his latest target is a familiar London snitch who's wanted back in England for killing Milne's friend, Det. Asif Malik. Hungry for further vengeance, Milne risks his freedom and returns to London to track down others connected to Malik's murder. Milne re-examines the case Malik was investigating, sets up a meeting with a crime boss and gets ambushed for his troubles. From then on, Milne barely stays a step ahead of death. Though uneven at times, this action-packed page-turner will earn Kernick new followers.

Another brilliant book
Great read
Well sometimes you do bad things and it comes back to haunt you but sometimes you try and put a little right back in the world. When Dennis Milne hears one of his old team has been murdered and it was not as it initially seemed, he decides that Malik was a good cop who really didn’t deserve it. Retribution was needed. Who else to go there and get justice for Malik’s family.
Prepare for some violence, confusion, plenty of villains and a heck of a journey during this tale. Twists and turns a plenty and more villains than you want to know about. Really good book .
