A NEW ACTION-PACKED PSYCHOLOGICAL CRIME THRILLER FOR 2023 THAT'S SURE TO GET YOUR HEART RACING! IT'S A STORY ABOUT TWO BRITISH EX-MARINES WHOSE LIVES BECOME INTERTWINED - LIKE BARBED WIRE! Ex-Royal Marine Commando Corporal John Stokes no longer fights to protect the freedoms of others. Now living and working in Dubai, he fights solely for his freedom - freedom from the UAE authorities who would have him accused of rape and murder. An accusation he vehemently denies. If caught, it would likely mean the death penalty - or killed by a hit squad! One man, Steve Reynolds, his friend and boss in Dubai (also ex-military), offers to help; but as Stokes will later discover, it comes at a dire cost! Caught up in a criminal underworld of deceit, betrayal, and extreme violence, can Stokes free himself from his enemies - and his troubled and tormented mind? Or will a caring and loving woman named Mary ultimately be the one to set him free? Hard-hitting, gripping, sexy, erotic, funny, creepy, harrowing, terrifying, entertaining, action-packed drama! Not for the faint-hearted! Over 18's only!
