Inspired by the author's own experiences as an Irish infantry soldier and UN Peacekeeper.
People are the new currency. And in a town this corrupt, the exchange rate is blood.

Former soldier Lindsey Ryan is no stranger to war, but her newest battlefield is the doorstep of her own home. When Lena, a brutalized Syrian refugee, collapses into her life, Lindsey's internal sirens scream. She's been trying to bury her PTSD in the shadows of Cobh in Cork, but Lena is a living reminder that some wars never end.

The enemy has a name: Patrick Adebayo. He's a kingpin who treats human lives like cargo. When Lindsey discovers a child is being smuggled into Adebayo's stronghold, the time for doing nothing is over.

Outnumbered, haunted by her past, and trapped in a town where the police look the other way, Lindsey must unleash the soldier she tried to leave behind.

In a race against a rising tide of violence, she has one mission: Get them out. Get them safe. Or die trying.
