Before: A Gripping Military Thriller of Isolation and Redemption You Won’t Be Able to Put Down


Overview

They took someone he swore to protect. Now his past may be the only weapon he has left. Life on the water was meant to be a fresh start for Sam Ireland and his daughter, Isla. But when his closest ally Sinead is abducted, Sam is dragged back into the shadows he tried to leave behind. In Dublin’s underworld of blackmail, prostitution, and organized crime, enemies circle who know exactly how to exploit his scars. With Isla watching and Sinead’s life on the line, Sam must decide if redemption can be won with violence—or if some debts can never be paid. Gritty, emotional, and explosive, Before brings the Sam Ireland saga to a razor-edged climax. Perfect for readers who want Jack Reacher with more heart, or Andy McNab with an Irish edge. __________________________________________ Praise for the Sam Ireland thrillers: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ""I’ve read and loved, Lee Child, John Sanford, John Grisham, Jeffrey Deaver, etc and Finn Og leaves them for dead…I could not recommend Finn highly enough."" ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ""Finn Og is without a doubt the best I’ve read! Incredibly clever plots."" ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ""My heart is still racing."" ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ""Sam is a flawed character which makes him believable. It's been a while since I read a book in a day."" ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ""A gripping suspenseful thriller. I brought this book to read on holiday and had it done on the first day!"" ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ""I thought this book was a great read, and it would make a great film. The character Sam is well written and the plot doesn't slow down and drag. Great rhythm till the very end."" ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ""This is a fantastic book - from the first page it grips you and just refuses to let go, but with a sensitivity that is rare in novels of this kind."" ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ""I found myself getting pulled into the story from the off. It's articulately written in nice sharp paragraphs and chapters that always leave you feeling like you want more (part of what makes it hard to put down!). I don't leave many reviews, but this book grabbed me."" ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ""Great plot & storyline. A thought provoking and gripping read.""
