The Baby and the Brandy

"I take a deep breath, and remind myself of the mantra that I all too often have to repeat. I am not a bad man." Ben Bracken is free, but only just. Twenty minutes ago, he escaped from HMP Manchester, with one goal. Redemption. He was a Captain in Her Majesty's Royal Army, before he was forced into a no-win situation that led to his dishonorable discharge. More bad choices put him behind bars. He is hated and outcast by the society that he swore to protect... but he can't give up on it just yet. Jack Brooker's father is missing. He recently confessed to Jack that he was leading a double life involving Manchester's criminal underworld, with strong ties to a mysterious and elusive group called the Berg, and it's apparent leader, Felix Davison, a man who seems to have Manchester dancing to his tune. Ben and Jack are flung together in a twisting, action-packed thriller, as they hunt down the killer of Jack's father through Manchester's darkest corners, as loyalties are questioned, motives explored and bloody justice is sought. Will Ben find the redemption he is looking for? All he knows is, he will do whatever it takes...
