The Exile

A job with no paper trail leaves no way out when it goes wrong.

Sam Ireland craved a quiet life on his houseboat in Dublin. The truth was, it never suited him. His partner knows it too, which is why she persuades him to accept a job that no government can officially sanction.

Using an international sailing event as cover, the former Special Boat Service operative travels to the east on a simple mission: extract a desperate child from the grip of a powerful royal family. Get in. Get out. Clean and quiet.
Then Sam steps in when he shouldn’t.

One impulsive decision leaves him injured, imprisoned, and cut loose in the wrong place, tangled with dangerous enemies and secrets worth killing for. With his mission collapsing and no help coming, Sam is forced to run.

Hunted across unfamiliar ground, he turns to an old comrade and a desperate plan that depends on stolen transport, split-second timing, and a high-risk escape.

Sam Ireland never leaves anyone behind.

But this time, his past is catching up with him.

The Exile is book five of the Sam Ireland Thriller Series, delivering gritty action, moral pressure, and a hero driven by loyalty and instinct. Perfect for readers who like their thrillers hard-edged but human, think Jack Reacher with more heart, or Andy McNab with an Irish edge.
