Publisher Description
"A plot packed with high-octane action and gut-churning violence. . . the perfect book for anyone who thinks there's nothing to read between Michael Connelly novels" - Booklist Starred Review
Introducing tough-as-nails former Royal Marine, ex-cop and sportfishing skipper Steve Flynn in the first of a brand-new series of exciting action thrillers.
When he is accused of murdering his boss, sportfishing captain Steve Flynn finds that his idyllic life in the Canary Islands has suddenly lost its charm. Arrested by a tenacious – and corrupt – Spanish detective, Flynn knows he is facing a grim future unless he can somehow prove his innocence.
Matters take a turn for the worse however when Flynn’s ex-girlfriend is kidnapped and her life used as a bargaining chip. The only way Flynn can save her is to pull out all the stops, re-hone his old policing and military skills, and put himself in the firing line against a murderous gang for whom violent death is a way of life.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Former Royal Marine Steve Flynn, the hero of this rousing series launch from Oldham (Unforgiving and 22 other Henry Christie novels), is enjoying life in the Canary Islands, where he skippers Faye, the sport-fishing boat he co-owns with his friend Adam Castle, the brother of his girlfriend, Karen Glass, with whom he's on the verge of breaking up. Trouble arrives in the form of gangster Aleksander Bashkim and his two heavily muscled grown sons. Flynn is dismayed to learn that Castle is selling his share of Faye to these thugs. A violent encounter with the Bashkim brothers leads Flynn to seek female consolation. Unfortunately, the woman he picks up turns out to be a deranged serial killer, who handcuffs him to his bed and threatens to eviscerate him. After Flynn escapes her clutches, he gets blamed for the murders of two people close to him, and he goes on the run. Karen's kidnapping raises the stakes. Those who don't mind heavy-handed plot twists and shallow characterizations will welcome Flynn's further adventures.
