Life is quiet for Alex Verus. Amazing.

With a flat full of friends (and the occasional fish), and business booming, why not enjoy the humdrum here and now?

But of course, that's too good to be true. In a sudden and cruel pincer movement of fate, Alex finds himself fighting a sinister and powerful gang as well as his own demons—for the same crime.

Held hostage by the choices of his past, Alex's future is now in jeopardy.

Chosen by Benedict Jacka offers a thrilling adventure where the past and present collide, leaving Alex Verus in a fight for survival.

About the Author
