A novel by

 
 
'Engaging and enjoyable. A must read for soldiers and civilians.' Damien Lewis

James Marshal, ex-Para and former PMC, must go to war once more.

A close friend, Jack Foster, is tortured, killed and dumped outside the Special Forces Club in Knightsbridge.

The chief suspect behind the brutal execution of Foster is John Mullen, an IRA terrorist turned statesman.
Mullen possessed the motive and means to kill the SAS operative. He also possesses an alibi, however, and is considered untouchable.

Marshal should walk away. But doesn't.

The veteran of Helmand must face his demons - or rather use them - to gather intelligence, torture his enemies and pull the trigger.

Marshal embarks on a one-man mission to deliver justice - and justice is vengeance.

Blood for Blood is the follow-up to Enough is Enough. Thomas Waugh has written one of the thrillers of the year, blending the visceral violence of Lee Child with the black humour and insight of a Graham Greene "entertainment". Blood For Blood portrays an outsider, ill at ease with the world - a veteran of Afghanistan who never quite came back from the war.

Thomas Waugh is the pseudonym of a bestselling historical novelist. His other books include Gun For Hire and Enough is Enough. He lives in London.

Recommended for fans of Lee Child, Stephen Leather and Graham Greene.

Praise for Thomas Waugh:

'Fast, brutal and uncompromising. Waugh gets you in his sniper-scope and doesn't relent until the very last page.' John Kennedy, author of The Trauma Pool

'Thomas Waugh’s gripping second James Marshal thriller reads as though Andy McNab has sent Nick Stone into the meanest streets of London on a mission of brutal revenge.' Peter Tonkin, author of The Trojan Murders

'Dark and punchy. An enigmatic hero takes on the dangerous streets of London.' Shaun Baines, author of Pallbearer

‘A gripping thriller, elegantly told. A complex plot, deftly handled. And a narrative that puts the city of London, with its wealth and poverty, goodness and evil, at the heart of the story.’ Alison Joseph
