A mountain tunnel. A trapped night shift. And no way back to the surface.
When a British engineer sends a fractured distress call from deep beneath Romania’s Vatra Pass, Callan Straker is sent in with one job: find the missing man and get dozens of trapped workers out alive.
But the tunnel is already under hostile control.
A deliberate blast has sealed the main portal. Ventilation is failing. Armed contractors are moving through forgotten service passages, using the mountain itself to cut off every rescue route.
Straker and his team enter through a flooded drainage adit that was never meant for men carrying weapons, rescue kit and casualties. Inside, they find terrified workers, failing air, an engineer taken hostage — and proof that the collapse is only the beginning.
Because someone has hidden something beneath the mountain.
And before daylight is over, they intend to bury the tunnel, the road above it, and everyone who knows the truth.
With civilians running out of air and the enemy preparing the final sequence, Straker must go deeper into the mountain to stop them.
But every metre forward takes him farther from the surface.
DEAD SHIFT is the explosive fourth thriller in the Callan Straker Black Ops series - perfect for fans of Andy McNab, 'Foxtrot' Oscar Dunn, Chris Ryan and Mark Greaney.
Genre: Thriller
