About this ebook
Ben Gabriel was once a soldier in the elite British Special Forces, but that was before his dishonourable discharge and subsequent descent into a life of crime.
Now he is on the run from a wealthy gold mining magnate – determined to hunt him down and reclaim the gold taken from him in the biggest gold heist in living memory.
And Gabriel’s life is about to become more complicated – when prominent South African society members are brutally murdered, the police discover a link between the murders and Gabriel.
But is Gabriel responsible, or is his connection to the murders more complicated than guilt?
Can he escape the clutches of his pursuers?
And where is all that gold?
Vengeful is the third book in the Gabriel series of thrillers set in the turbulent political landscape of South Africa.
If you like the works of John le Carre, Len Deighton and Lee Child, stories of the underdog who questions authority, and the daring capers of those who break the law to find the truth, then you’ll love this breathtakingly fresh thriller from David Hickson.
