Resumen del Editor

Wolfe hunts the man who betrayed his family.

Gabriel Wolfe has seen many faces of evil, fought, and won. On his latest mission, a stone-cold quest for vengeance, he’s flying solo. He's on administrative suspension after a car crash that almost cost a man his life. That means no backup from his boss, no support if things turn nasty, just him, his wits, and his resolve to see justice done.

And what justice? Tracking down the corrupt cop who ripped Gabriel’s family apart, causing the deaths of his brother and his parents, and separating Gabriel from his sister for almost 40 years: the former triad bodyguard Wei Mei.

A former warlord drenched in the blood of innocents.

Ratko Popović ran a vicious Serbian militia during the Bosnian war. The White Eagles were feared for their ruthless brutality. But when the wind changed and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia ground into gear, Popović bailed out, leaving his men to their fate. He now runs an organized crime gang called The Golden Bough, and is about to become embroiled in Gabriel’s hunt for the bent cop.

Gabriel follows a trail that takes him from the deceptive calm of the Suffolk coast all the way back to Hong Kong, where he joins forces with Mei. Then on, in a dizzying chase, to southern Spain and finally deep into Serbia.

So many dead.

Gabriel and Mei think they have cornered the man they came to kill, but life is never simple for the Wolfe siblings, and a disaster ensues, splitting them apart.

With Mei’s life forfeit if he makes a single wrong move, Gabriel must draw deep on his well of courage and mental strength to save his sister. He knows what it means to lose the ones he loves, and is determined not to fail. But with the odds stacked against him, things are looking bleak for the ex-SAS hero.

This break-neck action thriller is the 11th full-length novel in Andy Maslen’s Gabriel Wolfe series. Be prepared to lose sleep as you promise yourself "just one more chapter".

A hero like no other.

Listeners have compared Wolfe to other familiar action heroes like Jack Reacher, John Milton, Ben Hope, Spider Shepherd, and Mitch Rapp. But in truth, he is his own man.

He's no super-soldier or indestructible man-mountain. If he's shot, he bleeds, and he hurts. His PTSD, which he battles along with his country’s enemies, gives his missions a sharper edge.

But make no mistake. Wolfe is a good man to have on your side in a tight spot. And he always finds time to help those in trouble, whether or not they are paying for his services.
