…so when SAS trooper Matt Standing is told that the former Navy SEAL who saved his life is in trouble, he doesn’t hesitate to go to his aid.
The only survivor of a brutal hitjob, Bobby-Ray Barnes has been accused of killing the man he was supposed to be protecting, and has gone on the run.
The dead client was a Russian oligarch with connections to the Kremlin. But who wanted him dead, and why is Bobby-Ray being framed?
Standing is the only man who can answer those questions. Because a true hero always pays his debts.
An unmissable series from the UK’s greatest action thriller author, set in the same universe as the iconic Spider Shepherd novels.
