You can try to leave your old life. But what if it won’t leave you?
Gabriel Wolfe is done with ops. Too much blood. Too many friends dead. His days, and nights, haunted by the memory of his murdered wife, Eli. Trying to heal, he spends his time at a gym in an unfashionable part of Paris, teaching martial arts to poor kids. But whether he likes it or not, the call of duty instilled in him as a child and reinforced by his military commanders has only been quieted, not deleted.
So when he hears a woman cry out that her sister’s been stabbed, he rushes to help. But his instincts, always so trustworthy, betray him. Now it’s his life in danger. A razor-sharp knife to his throat and seconds left to submit to robbery or have his blood spilled.
‘Odette is missing!’
Elsewhere in the ‘city of love’, a twelve-year-old girl has disappeared on her way home from school. Her parents are frantic with worry, but the local police don’t want to know. After his encounter with the wannabe muggers, Gabriel runs into the missing girl’s mother. And he promises to help her find her daughter.
What they don’t know is that Odette Diallo has been taken by people traffickers. They plan to auction her on the dark web: her body the prize for the highest bidder.
The knife points the way
Gabriel reunites the knife the muggers used with its rightful owner. And in return he offers to help Gabriel find Odette. Together with Gabriel’s sister, Tara, they begin a race against the clock to find Odette before the auction ends and her fate is sealed.
Readers’ opinions
‘Yet again, Andy had surpassed himself. Only a 1/4 way through but a real page-turner. Another best seller, which I would 100% recommend to anybody looking for a cracking yarn.’
Ian Brown
‘Love the Gabriel Wolfe series and I have to say another brilliant read!. The stories just get better and better. Really didn't want to put it down. You would definitely want Gabriel on your side. Highly recommend this author.’
Gullie
‘Just when you think Andy Maslen can't get any better, he pulls it out of a hat.....lots of clever plots inter-weaved to make one intriguing thriller, from Hong Kong, Texas, Cambodia and Texas again this is one resilient soldier with one thing one his mind.....Why?’

The Sixteenth book in an enthralling series
This break-neck thriller is the sixteenth novel in Andy Maslen’s Gabriel Wolfe series. The action begins on page one and doesn’t let up as Gabriel, Tara and Jacko Blake race from Paris to Corsica to Martinique in their search for Odette.
A hero like no other
Readers have compared Wolfe to other familiar action heroes. Jack Reacher. John Milton. Ben Hope. Spider Shepherd. Mitch Rapp. But in truth he is his own man.
He's no super-soldier or indestructible man-mountain. If he's shot, he bleeds ... and he hurts. His PTSD, which he battles along with his country’s enemies, gives his missions a sharper edge.
But make no mistake. Wolfe is a good man to have on your side in a tight spot. And he always finds time to help those in trouble, whether or not they are paying for his services.
