Who is the notorious Greybreek, a hero or a villain?
Alasdair Macleod, an ex-officer in the Caledonian Fusiliers, returns from service abroad to world that disappoints him, dominated by the greed of those who stayed at home to profit from the war.
Finding that the woman he loves has left him for another man, he is bitter and twisted from a broken heart.
Completely disillusioned and disgusted by the spirit of self-seeking which has followed a war of idealism, he decides to seek grim retribution from profiteers and others like them.
Someone has to fix the world they have ruined...
Assisted by Ferguson, his old batman, and Peter Robertson, once his subaltern in the bitter Italian campaign, he goes into action.
Their carefully thought-out robberies are flawless, escaping discovery and arrest by Inspector Hagg, Greybreeks biggest enemy, who will stop at nothing until he is identified.
But something changes in Greybreek when he meets Margaret Delaforce on one of his exhilarating adventures.
He thought he could never love another after what Evelyn did to him.
Greybreek wants to commit his life to seeking retribution, but as his affection for her grows stronger, can he resist love and a happy life?
And can he ever give up being Greybreek?
Greybreek is a thrilling tale of vengeance and love.
