Gordon Bennet Thriller

Everyone told him he needed a holiday. His life had fallen apart around him. His marriage had failed, and he had been dishonourably discharged from the military. He needed to recharge his batteries and make a new start and a break on the Costa Blanca was the opportunity to re-set his life. Two weeks of relaxing, enjoying the sun, and having a few drinks was just what the doctor ordered. It started so well. How was he to know that this was the prelude to the vacation from hell? He soon becomes enmeshed in murder and intrigue, and meets a beautiful young woman. Set in the idyllic town of Calpe in Southern Spain, this thriller introduces Gordon Bennet, ex-military, ex-mercenary, in a tale that is a rocket ride of thrills and tension. The brooding Ifach, the giant 332 metre rock that stands as a towering sentinel, forms the backdrop for this high action romp. Where rival crime forces battle for control, only a fool would stand in their way, and Gordon is such a man.

After his dangerous holiday in Calpe, Gordon Bennet takes Gabriela to visit his home city in England. The Spanish beauty is looking forward to learning more about her enigmatic lover. From the moment they arrive at his home in Leeds, they become entwined in a web of murder, assassinations, and power struggles that take them to the edge and beyond. As if meeting Gordon's ex-wife wasn't stressful enough, Gabriela has to learn to drive on the other side of the road, deal with challenging Yorkshire folk, discover what toad-in-hole is, and take the fight to the powers set on destroying Gordon and herself. What hides behind the still waters of the lake? Who can be trusted? Just where will Gabriela draw the line to save her man? The twists and turns of the story lead the reader through the complexity of Gabriela dealing with her self-realisation and her demons. Danger and deceit are everywhere in this white-knuckle thriller.
