Works of: Fiction

Lonely, disgraced ex-Royal Marine, Guy Haslam, never expected to end up as a night watchman in a Manchester freight terminal. But that’s exactly where he finds himself, chasing off youngsters paid to sneak on site and retrieve drugs hidden inside shipping containers.

One day, Guy bumps into one of the collectors in a local shop. Jayden Tucker lives in a tower block and is just trying to take care of his little sister. To his surprise, Guy strikes up an unlikely friendship with the streetwise youngster.

But when a drug shipment goes missing, Jayden’s boss accuses him of stealing it. With some of the city’s most ruthless criminals hunting Jayden down, Guy knows he must use all his skills to save him.
