Outside The Shadows

A secret agent who operates without the permission of his organisation or Government is said to be working Outside the Shadows. David Reece, the SG9 MI6 Black Ops officer, finds himself in that predicament when his old agent and lover Mary McAuley has been kidnapped by dissident Irish republican terrorists who intend to torture and kill her.

Reece is told by his bosses that if he tries to find her using his killing skills, he could jeopardise the Northern Ireland Peace Process.

Reece has no option; he must disobey if he is to save the woman he loves. Finding a mixture of operators from his MI6 SAS, and Mossad contacts they race against time, a vicious terrorist organisation, and the historical politics of Ireland putting
everything at risk to succeed.

"The enemy hide in plain sight. To stop them, we kill them!"
