Covert operative Cole Goodwin pulls off the biggest undercover sting in Australia. Now he's on the run in the biggest gig of his life-survival.
Cole Goodwin spent years undercover, infiltrating the Mafia and putting the Australian Godfather behind bars for twenty years. As his team celebrate the 'guilty' verdict, the Mafia are rolling out a vendetta, aided by Cole's corrupt boss. The dodgy Inspector Mack has plans for a prosperous retirement in France, and wants Cole out of his life-fast-as well as collecting a million-dollar bonus along the way.
With his life under threat, Cole blows the dust off his secret identities, kisses his pretty girlfriend goodbye, and jumps planes, trains, ferries and continents, finally arriving in dark, bleak, southern Italy and the heartland of his enemy-the N'Drangheta, who has sent its best hitman to end his run ...
Colin McLaren was Australia's most experienced taskforce detective, hunting the Mafia, Mr Bigs, murderers, paedophiles and bombers during the most volatile decades in Australia's history when police shot first and asked questions later. He has resigned from the police and writes constantly, dividing his time between Italy and Australia.
