The most dangerous people are those with nothing to lose. Who don’t care if they live or die.
Simon Peake does care… he just isn’t sure about what right now. The ex-soldier’s life is as close to rock bottom as it gets.
He needs a job and he needs a quiet life.
What he gets is a whole load of mess working for New York-based Irish mobster Harry Lafferty. A job that requires him to use his special skills on some very unsavory people. His relationship with Harry’s niece isn’t exactly conducive to a quiet existence either…
As Peake tries to walk the fine line between surviving in this new life, and atoning for his old one, he struggles on both counts. And when his past comes back to bite him, and those closest to him are threatened, the reckoning will be merciless for anyone who stands in his way.

My thoughts: Simon Peake is a troubled man, former army, he’s spent time in prison for serious assault. He’s clearly been damaged by his past experiences, leaving him prone to bursts of violence that leave the unlucky person who pushed him in pieces. Getting a job as a driver for the head of an Irish-American crime family might not be the best idea. Sleeping with the boss’ niece definitely isn’t.
As he gets drawn into the Laffertys’ world, the violence around him increases, a dangerous place for a volatile man. Then his past comes crashing into his present, putting the few people he cares about in danger.
A thriller driven by one man’s attempts to put his life into some sense of order, while the demons of his past play havoc with his mind and eventually come to take revenge.
