When there's nowhere to turn to because authority is corrupt what choices does anyone have? Leo Priest spent fifteen years in prison for a murder he did not commit. Worse, people knew he was innocent. Important people. Powerful people. People he trusted, respected.

As a former regular soldier with commendations for bravery in every war zone from Europe to the Middle East he had followed the rule book to the letter. Commanded men and women through some of the toughest fighting British forces encountered in the 21st century. Then seconded to bodyguard duties on home turf, no longer on combat duties a welcome relief, until he found himself betrayed.

After his early release from prison for good behaviour he had a choice. Emigrate to the other side of the world or stay and hunt down the real killer. Was it really a no brainer?
