Synopsis

The longer Sebastian survives and the closer he gets to the truth, the more he struggles to breathe—a thriller about a man for whom the only choice for survival—running—is not an option

Sebastian suffers from acute asthma. He’s an ex-soldier, but the asthma meant he never saw combat. Working as a courier for a man he’s never met, Sebastian arrives in town early with a bag to deliver. An hour before the hand-over he meets Isobel, a weary nurse in need of a ride. But Isobel is a honey trap, and before Sebastian is even aware of the danger, she’s knocked him unconscious and escaped into the night. Sebastian is given 24 hours to recover the bag or a contract will go out on his life, his only lead the enigmatic Isobel. But Isobel is also a pawn, at the mercy of a man she calls Mr. Punch, the overlord of a criminal empire built entirely upon manipulation, blackmail, and fear. And Mr. Punch is not alone—his second in command is even worse.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Sebastian suffers from acute asthma. He’s ex-military, but the asthma meant he never saw combat. It’s held him back his whole life, and now he has a chip on his shoulder and a lot to prove. Working as a courier, Sebastian arrives in town with a bag to deliver. He doesn’t know what it contains, he doesn’t want to know, but he’s pretty sure it isn’t drugs or money. An hour before the hand over he hooks up with Isobel, a weary nurse in need of a ride. But Isobel is slave to a man she calls Mr Punch, the overlord of a criminal empire built upon manipulation, blackmail and fear. Anonymous and terrifying, Mr Punch is almost legend, haunting the lives of ordinary people, forcing shopkeepers, office workers and nurses to become henchmen and assassins. Believing he is trapped between Mr Punch and his mysterious employer, Sebastian’s best chance of survival is to run. But running isn’t Sebastian’s style. It’s not an option for a man with acute asthma.
