About this title

Synopsis

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 becomehenchmen 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.
