"Some writers talk the talk, but Roger Price walks the walk." Stephen Leather
1992
Captain Vernon Jackson, a seasoned soldier, and Bertram Hastings, an unorthodox MI5 officer, command SAS Red Troop.
An anonymous tip off comes in regarding an attempt on a senior Northern Irish politician's life. Red Troop intervene and neutralise the threat, ensuring the target remains unaware in order to keep the peace. But a line has been crossed; senior politicians are exempt from attacks. Both Republican and Loyalist paramilitaries agreed this long ago.
Red Troop identify a fractured Loyalist sub-group, which will cause havoc across the sectarian divide if their murderous plans prevail.
The team are tasked to investigate. They discover that senior Loyalist and Republican terrorists are separately working with a criminal gang committing armed robberies to fund their causes.
Circumstances then throw these two opposing forces together; albeit in the name of crime, only. The new prime minister Sir David Manning is intrigued and orders Red Troop to protect this fragile relationship for reasons he fails to disclose.
But someone high up doesn't want this unholy alliance to survive and plan their own murderous intervention. Red Troop must discover who, and stop them before it's too late; the future of Northern Ireland depends on it.
Roger A. Price left the police as Special Operations DI and became an Amazon No:1 bestselling crime fiction author. With several crime thrillers and procedurals published, he continues to delve into his bank of real life experiences to bring his novels to life.
