A former MI6 agent must return to his deadly talents when his quiet English village is overtaken by killers in this nonstop action thriller.
When armed men infiltrate the tiny Peak District hamlet of Barkelow, Emil Torrance thinks they’ve cone to kill him because of his past. Escaping is easy enough for a man like him, but when he learns that all of Berkelow has been overtaken, he realises his son is in grave danger.
Believing that calling the police will cost lives, he decides to deal with the problem alone. But Emil isn’t far from the target, and the threat he’s facing is far greater than he realises. Who are these killers? What do they want? And how far are they willing to go to get it? If Emil and his son are going to survive, he will have to become the man he has been trying to hide from . . .
Jake Cross was a seventies child who started writing at a young age. He started with fantasy because there was no research needed for an invented world. Early short stories covered probably every genre except dieselpunk-romcom. Although he now writes thrillers, Jake’s reading love is true crime. Other interests are MMA, snooker and driving. There are no dieselpunk-romcom novels planned.
