This is a complex story about a retired SAS soldier turned policeman, whose past catches up with him and his friends. It has some good detailed passages about life in special services and the police force too. Full of twists and turns, your led down various dead ends. Although I had deduced the end and the who and why it was nevertheless entertaining to watch it unfold. I'd definitely read more by this author .

A very entertaining listen!
