Former soldier. Ex-copper. Current man on the edge.

Then an old face from Hoon’s Special Forces days turns up asking for help: His teenage daughter has been missing for months, the police have drawn a blank, and he needs the kind of help that only Hoon can provide. And besides, Hoon owes him one.

Story
Mark Campbell is in trouble. His latest book is five years late and his recent divorce has cleaned him out. Worse, his debts with Vic Hebden aren’t the kind you consolidate into one easy payment. And he’s already missed three. But Mark has a plan—finish his novel, then pay Hebden off with the advance. His daughter, Kay, is spending her summer holiday in the far north of Scotland. The hotel calls—Kay has run off, leaving a big bill, her phone, and a copy of Mark’s last book, Break the Chain. There's only one person to turn to—his ex, Olivia. Kay’s stepmother.

A dead man walks into a police station. He tells a tale - bizarre as it is grotesque - of kidnap and organ harvesting. John Baden's story of being held prisoner for 12 years sounds far-fetched - but it's all about to get much, much stranger. DI Ben Westphall has been given the case because of his background in MI6. He also has a knack for getting inside people's heads and seeing things others would miss. Westphall is no ordinary detective, and this is no ordinary case.

But as the tabloids and the media swarm, as the families' secrets come out, as the world searches for someone to blame...the truth seems to vanish.

Summary
How far would you go to find the truth?
After more than a decade of being in prison for the brutal murder of two Stirling University students, Colin Sanderson has been released after his conviction was found to be unsafe.
Returning home to a small village not far from Stirling, Sanderson refuses police protection, even in the face of a death threat. But the PR firm that has scooped him up to sell his story does know of a protection expert in Stirling. They want Connor Fraser.
Connor reluctantly takes the assignment, partly as a favour to DCI Malcolm Ford, who is none too keen to have Sanderson on the loose, particularly as he was involved in the original investigation that saw him imprisoned.
When a body is found, mutilated in the same way as Sanderson's victims were, all eyes fall on the released man. But how can he be the killer when Connor's own security detail gives him an alibi?
As Connor races to uncover the truth, he is forced to confront not only Sanderson's past, but his own, and a secret that could change his life forever.

Really disappointing
I bought this based on high reviews and really it was such a waste of time! The characters had no depth to them and were all grey and similar to each other. The story could have been quite good, but honestly I feel this was such a waste of time and of a credit!
It was really slow moving and drawn out! Ugh!
