    About this ebook

    She’s trained to stop killers. He’s trained to be one. And they’re set to collide with potentially lethal consequences . . .
     
    Following personal trauma, Kate “Cass” Cassidy has resigned from the detective squad and retreated to her hometown on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way to work a community policing beat. But to Cass’s dismay, her new boss immediately assigns her to an unsolved case—a murder with no clear suspects and few leads. 
     
    At the same time, her colleagues are chasing a marauding gang committing violent burglaries in the region. When an elderly farmer is killed and his property ransacked, the evidence points in only one direction—until a former US soldier, Mason Brady, walks into the local station and sets the investigation on a startling new path. What neither Cass nor Brady realize is the extent to which their actions will cause both cases to overlap and see them become each other’s greatest threat.
     
    What links a scenic Irish tourist town to these crimes, to a daring international bank raid, and to Brady’s past? Is Brady an ally or an enemy? Who’s doing the hunting, and who’s being hunted?
     
    To find the answers, Cass will have to follow a path that leads her to the darkest of places . . .

      Friend Or Foe?

      Aug 24, 2023

      Sitting on the grass beside my girlfriend Grace, I spotted a familiar face approaching from across the park. ‘Can I join you?’ Chelsea, then 17, smiled, plonking herself down. It was March 2018 and I’d been with Grace, then 16, for six months. I was
