After a successful 18 year career in the Royal Marines, Nathan Sawyer is at a crossroads in his life, wondering which path to follow. Fate takes a hand when he witnesses 2 Serbian men beating up a young girl. He intervenes, rescues her and discovers she is from Montenegro called Elena Borovic. She and 11 other girls were kidnapped from Belgrade and for over a year have been forced to live as sex slaves in Liverpool. A rescue is mounted for the remaining girls which plunges Sawyer and his team into the middle of a gang war.

This is a fast paced thriller in the style of a super spy movie, with a likeable hero, beautiful girls, evil crime lords and fast moving action on an international scale. There is never a dull moment as the action flits between Liverpool, Leeds, Cyprus and Belgrade with double crosses and violent altercations at every turn. In amongst the action is a delicate love story which neatly counter balances the violent encounters.
