Overview

When Danny Pearson gets a desperate late-night call from an old SAS comrade, he doesn't hesitate. Smudge is terrified, on the run, and begging for help from a remote chalet on the Norfolk coast. By the time Danny arrives with fellow ex-Regiment brothers Fergus and Chaz, Smudge has vanished - leaving behind diving gear, a brick of cocaine, and footprints that end in a struggle on the beach. What begins as a rescue mission plunges Danny into something far darker than drug smuggling. Behind the quiet villages and windswept beaches of the Norfolk coastline, a ruthless criminal operation is hiding in plain sight. A violent enforcer named Slade runs cocaine diving operations and holds prisoners in underground cells beneath a remote farm. A corrupt Chief Constable makes problems disappear. And presiding over it all is Lord Bartholomew Harrington-Smythe, a wealthy aristocrat with a monstrous secret. The Sport of Kings is not a horse race. It's a hunt - where the prey is human. Wealthy clients pay to track and kill kidnapped victims across a private estate, and Smudge is next on the list. Worse still, when Danny gets too close, the people he loves become targets. With no backup from the authorities and a corrupt police force blocking every move, Danny and his band of former SAS soldiers must go to war against an enemy with unlimited resources, powerful connections, and absolutely no conscience. From a night dive to recover evidence on the seabed, to a devastating assault on an underground prison, to a final act of vengeance that takes him across Europe - Danny will stop at nothing to save his friend and make those responsible pay. Sport of Kings is the darkest and most personal instalment yet in the internationally bestselling Danny Pearson series. A savage, unrelenting thriller with devastating twists, brutal action, and an ending that will leave you breathless. Perfect for fans of Andy McNab, Chris Ryan, Mark Dawson, and Lee Child.
