When private military contractor Andy MacKay is arrested for attempted murder, his only concern is getting home in one piece. But once the charges vanish and his lawyer, Kate Lawrence, disappears, he\u2019s back in the crosshairs, this time by choice. His search drags him through a gauntlet of treacherous cities and violent men.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dunlop\u2019s writing is lean, charged, and exact. Andy\u2019s no perfect hero. He limps, he curses, he doubts, but his flaws make him unforgettable. The supporting cast is equally compelling: corrupt officials, burned-out soldiers, and opportunists who give the story its edge of realism and moral weight. The action never lets up and the finale stuns. Throughout it all, Dunlop delves into guilt, redemption, and the choices that test what\u2019s left of a conscience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A taut, blistering thriller pulsing with danger, wit, and moral ambiguity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Coming soon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Expurgated Press<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Hardcover ISBN: 978-1-0693008-5-0<br>Softcover ISBN: 978-1-0693008-4-3<br>e-book ISBN: 978-1-0693008-3-6<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A tense, intelligent thriller that balances razor-edged wit with moral depth.
