Blowback

You can't outrun your past--especially when it wants you dead

Elite assassin Adrian Hell thought he could leave the bloodshed behind. Now semi-retired in Tokyo, he's found love and uneasy peace. But when a simple job puts him in the crosshairs of the Yakuza and a ghost from his past, he's forced into a brutal fight for survival.

You can't outrun your past unless you bury it for good. A twist of fate puts Adrian Hell in the crosshairs of the Yakuza. Pushed beyond his limits, he will unleash a side of himself no one has seen before.

Two years on from the heart-breaking events in Thicker Than Blood, Adrian has semi-retired in Tokyo. He takes low-level contracts to keep boredom at bay. He's found an unlikely love and an uneasy peace. But a ghost from his past is lurking in the shadows, looking to destroy everything he's worked for. Vengeance makes a powerful enemy.


Genre: Action Thriller

Key Themes: Assassins, Mystery, Organised Crime, Revenge, Vigilante Justice


Praise for the Adrian Hell series:

5.0 out of 5 stars - I'm hooked!

5.0 out of 5 stars - Can't say edge of my seat; more like edge of a nonstop blockbuster! Fantastic read! With more twists and turns than a Fall Corn Maze. A definite MUST read.

5.0 out of 5 stars - Folks, it doesn't get any better than this. (I wish I could give it more stars.)

5.0 out of 5 stars - From the first page it was one of the best books I've ever read.

5.0 out of 5 stars - Fast paced and ferocious. Hell rocks! I absolutely loved this book.
