A favour for an old friend. What could go wrong?
It's sold as an in-and-out jaunt to The Big Apple, to pick up a harmless envelope. But when Ben Bracken is offered the assignment, he's a little hesitant. He's a family man now, with a duty to stay alive for his loved ones.
But, with the request coming from fellow former military man and trusted friend William Grosvenor, not to mention the eye-watering payout, one last job can't hurt, can it?
So begins his American road trip, one that takes him from the city that never sleeps to the misty swamps of Florida, all in pursuit of one highly coveted envelope. But it turns out, this job isn't the walk in Central Park it was promised to be.
As he's pursued by New York's most dangerous mobsters, factions of federal law enforcement, and American Intelligence, Ben's hunch is that their joint quarry must hold something of international significance.
He's not wrong. The contents that's slipping through these influential fingers contains evidence of the world's biggest cover-up. Evidence that will rewrite history books and incriminate one of the most powerful men on the planet.
It's probably best it winds up in the right hands.
The Watchman is the fourth thriller in the Ben Bracken series - packed with action, underpinned with believable conspirative intrigue, world-class writing and twists you just won't see coming.
'Wonderfully taut, exciting and with an amazing lead character. The Watchman is seamlessly constructed, with all the hallmarks of the finest of thrillers' Anne Cater
