The Long Road to Redemption - Romantic Thriller

A chase thriller, a must-read for Stieg Larsson fans, by a new author Pat Storm.


Warning: This book contains sexual content and disturbing historical events. It is intended to be read by mature audiences.


With quirky, unforgettable heroines and damaged men hell-bent on a collision course, this book has a pulse-pounding plot line. 

At the start of it all, Dorak (a Russian bodyguard) and Christina (a sex-trafficked mistress), who have escaped Vadim (a Russian oil oligarch), are on their way to freedom. Still, they have underestimated the sophistication of Vadim's security team.

A series of events unfold, bringing two brothers, Dorak and Amer (a Bosnian torturer), separated by the Srebrenica massacre together. This requires them to outwit a Dutch ex-mercenary hired by Vadim. With the assistance of Sakura (a Japanese sensual masseuse), Abiha (a Bosnian war trauma counsellor), and Dastabar (an Iranian Zoroastrian priest), they commence a long endgame. 

Filled with the kind of Eastern European history you won’t read in the history books, the novel blends three nail-biting attributes: page-turning adventure, arousing intimacy, and sassy independent women who would give Lisbeth Salander a run for her money. 


This romantic thriller is set in 1999, covering Srebrenica, Northern Italy, the UK, Texas, and Russia with back stories to the Srebrenica massacres of 1993-1995 and the Iran/Iraqi war.
