ROSS WILDER HASN’T BEEN HOME IN NINE YEARS.
NOW THE GOVERNMENT IS SENDING HIM BACK UNDERCOVER.
Colour Sergeant Ross Wilder is still a serving Royal Marine. On paper, he teaches specialist skills at Lympstone.
What he actually does is harder to explain.
When Diane Fenwick arrives carrying a charge sheet that should have disappeared fifteen years ago, Wilder is offered a job with a government cell buried so deep in Whitehall that it doesn’t officially exist.
His first target is in Fleetwood, the Lancashire fishing town he escaped at sixteen.
Cocaine is coming ashore through the Irish Sea, hidden inside the remains of a fishing industry Wilder grew up around. A man placed inside the network has already been murdered.
Wilder is going in to replace him.
His cover puts him aboard a trawler with men who knew him before the Royal Marines, working for a businessman who once gave his father a job when nobody else would. Every lie has to survive people who remember the truth.
But the drugs aren’t the real problem.
Someone is protecting the route.
And as Wilder gets closer, he discovers that Fenwick knew far more before sending him home than she ever told him.
To finish the job, Wilder will have to decide who he is prepared to betray.
Because in Fleetwood, everybody knows everybody.
And the water only stays slack for so long.
