When a British soldier the world thought was dead resurfaces, shot in the guts, in the home of a still-warm dead man an unsavoury story of dirty business and murder begins to emerge. A politician and a shadowy government security official make contact with him and reveal evidence of where he should be looking for answers to his questions. With their assistance, the soldier becomes embroiled in a mission for retribution and justice. And for some crimes only biblical justice will do. Dirty Business tells how Acer Sansom returns from the ‘dead’, where he’s been for his missing year and why he is possessed with a single-minded need for vengeance. It follows his journey from the south of England to Turkey on the trail of the men responsible for the fate of his murdered family and his search for the truth. Acer’s desire for revenge is clear. Less clear are the motives of those helping him and whose hands are soiled with their Dirty Business.

Acer Sansom has had a narrow escape and a taste of revenge, now he’s back for the main course – British justice. Covertly returning to the UK after a dramatic series of events in Turkey, the carefully woven fabric of the soldier’s welcome soon starts to unravel. The protection he was promised is compromised by his powerful and shadowy enemies who didn’t get where there are by leaving loose ends untied. Now he must once again rely on his wits, his mettle, his training and his luck to get him out of trouble and to help him honour the debt he feels to a policeman friend, and his dead loved ones. Loose Ends details Acer’s fight for survival, for justice and for vindication. A twisting journey of action and intrigue leads to a thrilling end and a possible new beginning.

Reeling and vulnerable from devastating personal news, Acer Sansom has agreed to do a one-off job for Crouch of British Intelligence. He’s not doing it for money. He’s not doing it for his country. He’s doing it for the children. Acer goes undercover in Iran looking for evidence that missing British scientists are being forced to work in one of the regime’s nuclear facilities. The straightforward reconnaissance assignment quickly becomes something far more complicated and dangerous. In light of new knowledge and reason, Acer finds himself with no alternative but to risk his life and the lives of others with a change of plan. \\\* The Acer Sansom novels now number three (nearly four).

Acer Sansom has discovered that the daughter he believed was dead is alive and well. He even knows where she is. Now he wants her back. But the Turkish patriarch under whose protection she is living requires Acer to do a job for him first. With limited options – each of them involving him risking his life – and a ticking clock, Acer is destined to find out how far he will go to get his child back and that luck has its limits.
