From the bestselling author of the Spider Shepherd thrillers, this is Stephen Leather´s breakthrough thriller: when a man loses his wife and his last living daughter he wants justice, and he wants revenge . . .
Stephen Leather´s BESTSELLING breakthrough thriller, previously published as THE CHINAMAN - perfect for fans of Lee Child and James Patterson.

He understood death. Jungle-skilled, silent and lethal, he had killed for the Viet Cong and then for the Americans. He had watched helpless when his two eldest daughters had been raped and killed by Thai pirates.

Now all that was behind him. Quiet, hard-working and unassuming, he was building up his South London take-away business.

Until the day his wife and youngest daughter were destroyed by an IRA bomb in a Knightsbridge department store.

Then, simply but persistently, he began to ask the authorities who were the men responsible, what was being done. And was turned away, fobbed off, treated as a nuisance.

Which was when, denied justice, he decided on revenge. And went back to war. Praise for Stephen Leather ´Explores complex contemporary issues while keeping the action fast and bloody´
Economist

´Action and scalpel-sharp suspense´
Daily Telegraph

´The sheer impetus of his story-telling is damned hard to resist´
Sunday Express
Leather, Stephen
