Three strangers and a chance meeting in a beach bar in Cyprus. By coincidence all have retired from working within the justice system and are looking forward to what the future holds for them on this beautiful island; sun-kissed beaches, lazy days...not quite. When one of them spots a suspicious convoy of minibuses the three men realise that something sinister is afoot. Private Steve Mantel has completed his tour of Afghanistan with his unit of the Parachute Regiment and along with his comrades is looking forward to a little respite on the island, but what he is about to discover is to turn his world upside down... | In the Shadow of the Bayonet by Chris Boult, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
