Description

James Lear does Lee Child in his latest sexy and suspenseful mystery. Dan Stagg is an ex-military man who fell foul of Don't Ask Don't Tell. Like Jack Reacher, he's prone to violence, always upholding what he views as justice. With no personal ties and little money, Dan accepts a job protecting a young male 'secretary' of a powerful real estate developer. The young man in question is vain, shallow and very attractive - and it's clear that is idea of 'protection' includes sex. Soon Dan realises that he's being used as a shield for a much more sinister operation...
