ROSS WILDER HAS BEEN HIRED TO PROTECT A WOMAN HE DOESN’T TRUST.
Rachel Sturgess is selling Redwick Marine, an ageing shipyard on the Avonmouth docks. The deal could save the company. It could also bury the truth about a young fitter who died there eighteen months ago.
His father wants answers. The police see a grieving man becoming dangerous. Wilder is paid to keep him away from Sturgess and her fourteen-year-old daughter until the sale is signed.
Then somebody attacks the school run.
The men behind the violence know the protection detail, the vehicles and the gaps in Wilder’s planning. When one of his team dies, Wilder begins examining the accident Redwick wants forgotten.
A condemned section of staging. An ambulance call delayed by forty-one minutes. Two settlements paid through different companies. Beneath it all, an undeclared dock operation governed by the tide—and preparing to move before the new owner takes control.
Wilder’s contract requires him to protect Sturgess. The evidence tells him she helped conceal what happened. As the attacks close in and his own decisions begin costing lives, he is forced outside the law, outside his firm and beyond the limits of a body already starting to fail.
The final tide is approaching. Whatever Redwick has hidden inside its dock is about to leave.
CLOSE QUARTERS is Book Four in the Wilder Thriller Series: a hard-edged British military thriller for readers of Andy McNab and Chris Ryan.
Genre: Thriller
