Synopsis
In war-torn Iraq, Stratton's closest friend is killed whilst on operation, leaving behind a grieving wife and child - Stratton's godson. When the widow moves to Los Angeles she is brutally murdered and her child placed in state custody. Stratton, rocked to his foundations by the killing, uncovers a FBI plot to hide the crime and sets off on a private operation of revenge that eventually pits him against one of the most powerful East European crime syndicates in America. Hunted by the CIA and FBI as well as a brutal army of Albanian mobsters and armed only with his wits and an extraordinary skill with explosives, Stratton relentlessly pursues his private war; a fight he suspects could be his last. Yet another enjoyable Falconer weave of thrill and action wrapped in the rich authenticity that defined his previous novels, taking the reader on a roller-coaster ride across half the globe to a nail-biting climax.

Review
A ripping yarn (FINANCIAL TIMES)
A pacy, engaging book that makes great use of Falconer's experiences to glimpse a world we seldom see (SUNDAY EXPRESS)
Book Description
Grippingly authentic thriller by a former member of the elite Special Boat Services who is widely pipped to inherit the genre's crown from Andy McNab.
