Private investigator Max Fortis thought he’d left his past behind. The former Metropolitan Police protection officer and MI5 agent is no stranger to danger, but when a mysterious woman dies in suspicious circumstances, he’s dragged into a vendetta aimed squarely at him.

The deeper Fortis digs, the deadlier the game becomes. Teaming up with journalist Ella Munro, he’s forced to confront enemies the police won’t touch and ghosts from his own buried past. Every lead tightens the noose, and every ally may be a traitor.

To survive, Fortis must outwit a relentless adversary who knows his weaknesses all too well. Justice is within reach, but so is revenge. This time, the cost could be everything.
