About this ebook

Several years have passed since Hezbollah’s hunt for Charley and Russ Courtney ended in bloodshed in the Tasmanian wilderness. They have new identities, new lives, a ten year old daughter and have finally learned to relax and stop looking over their shoulders......until one day, high above the Bass Straight in a small crop-duster in a storm whipped up by the infamous Roaring Forties, Russell spots a boat in trouble and makes a decision that opens a whole new can of worms when a young freelance TV reporter gets hold of the story and sells it, blowing away their cover.

Now Hezbollah know Russell and Charley are still alive - and they know exactly where find them and where to hit them hardest.
In London, Kent, the Scottish Islands and Australia the Courtneys fight for their lives. They can't ask the police for help. They have to rely on their own limited resources. Nowhere is safe.
