We find out in flash back about the events that led to Malachy Kitchen leaving the army in disgrace meanwhile he is living on a run down housing estate trying to piece his life back together and ends up doing so when he takes on the local drug dealers. With many a twist and turn we follow Malachy’s journey to redemption. A great action thriller.
Cowardice is a very dirty word. When Malachy Kitchen, an intelligence officer in Iraq, is accused of running away in the face of enemy fire, his career is left in tatters. Kicked out of the army, Malachy sinks into despair. He becomes an isolated recluse in a drug-infested London estate. But the mugging of an elderly widow by addicts draws him into a fight to regain his lost pride. His target is the network of narcotics traders. Pushers, dealers and suppliers all form part of that network, and at their head is Ricky Capel, a crime baron responsible for importing hard drugs into the UK. Untouchable up to now, Capel will have to confront an enemy more driven than any of the policemen he has so far successfully outwitted...
