ABOUT
THE BOOK

Charlie White is a unique young man from a deprived family and home. Breaking away from the East End of London, Charlie enlists in the Royal Marines and becomes an instant hero in the Falklands War, winning the George Medal in a bloody action. Charlie, it seems, is destined for a brilliant career until, upon the bitter streets and the troubles of Northern Ireland, fate conspires to persecute him. He is wrongly accused in a highly charged incident that threatens to derail the delicate peace talks between Ireland and Britain with the U.S.A. brokering. Without any substantial proof of his innocence, Charlie is sacrificed as a necessity so the peace talks can continue.
After years in prison he is released, an angry soured young man. The IRA plots his death with the aid of a Mafia-contrived set up. British Intelligence MI5, a devastating ambush, a beautiful Maltese girl, action that moves from the Falkland Islands to Ireland, from London to Palermo and Malta – are all ingredients in this deadly game of life or death.
