On the Defensive
Ryan Kaine is on the defensive…
When Kaine receives a mysterious text with an address and the terse message, “Help them,” he knows someone from The 83 is in trouble.
Unscrupulous men try to force Greek restaurateurs, the Constantines, out of their business and their home, but they stand firm. Until the head of the family, Orestes, is attacked and left fighting for his life. Their neighbours are running scared. The police are turning a blind eye.
With one of The 83 in danger, Kaine flies straight into the heart of trouble without a second thought. Trying to avoid the attention of the thousands of facial recognition cameras across London, he finds himself waist-deep in a mesh of treachery, lies, and deception, caught in a fight to the death that he cannot and will not lose.
Can Kaine find out why the family is under attack, neutralise the threat, and make it out of London without being recognised?
