Cole Goodwin pulls off the biggest undercover sting in Australia. Now he's on the run in the biggest gig of his life-survival. Cole Goodwin spent years undercover, infiltrating the Mafia and putting the Australian Godfather behind bars for twenty years. As his team celebrate the 'guilty' verdict, the Mafia are rolling out a vendetta, aided by Cole's corrupt boss. The dodgy Inspector Mack has plans for a prosperous retirement in France, and wants Cole out of his life-fast-as well as collecting a million-dollar bonus along the way. With his life under threat, Cole blows the dust off his secret identities, kisses his pretty girlfriend goodbye, and jumps planes, trains, ferries and continents, finally arriving in dark, bleak, southern Italy and the heartland of his enemy-the N'Drangheta, who has sent its best hitman to end his run ...
Colin McLaren was one of Australia's most experienced taskforce detectives and investigated the Walsh Street murders, the Mr Cruel kidnappings, and the NCA bombing and murder. After his encounter with the Mafia, Colin lectured at the Detective Training School. He has resigned from the police force and divides his time between Italy and Australia.
