Shadow Hunt

Discover the first in this breathtaking, unputdownable series from bestselling author Tom Bale. If you're a fan of Reacher - you will LOVE Clayton!

Suddenly Joe was back in the job and doing what he did best... becoming someone else. Mixing with the bad guys in order to bring them down.

Three years ago, after an undercover police operation went disastrously wrong, CID officer Joe Clayton lost his career and his family. Forced to adopt a new identity, he lives under the radar, taking whatever jobs he can find. Always looking over his shoulder, always hunted.

Now living on the tiny south coast island of Terror's Reach, home to rival business tycoons Robert Felton and Valentin Nasenko, Joe works as a bodyguard to Nasenko's wife, Cassie, and her two children.

But when a burning summer's day explodes into violence, and a murderous gang targets the ultra-exclusive community, only one man stands a chance of saving the residents from annihilation. Joe must draw upon all his skills and determination to keep them alive.

But nothing is as it seems on Terror's Reach, and a long night of betrayal and murder leaves Joe fighting for his own survival ...
