Overview

Danny Pearson has seen enough death to last a lifetime. After years of covert SAS operations in the most dangerous corners of the world, a mission in Afghanistan pushes him past breaking point. Haunted by the violent loss of his wife and child in a hit-and-run that was never solved, and with his mother dying of cancer, Danny quits the regiment and returns to London - looking for nothing more than a fresh start. But London has other plans. His uncle, Harry Knight, is one of the capital's most powerful crime bosses - a sharp-suited East End operator who built an empire of pubs, clubs, and property through a mix of charm, ruthlessness, and old-school loyalty. When Danny agrees to pick up some casual security work for Harry, he's pulled into a vicious turf war that's been brewing south of the river. Viktor Volkov - the volatile, cocaine-fuelled youngest son of a powerful Russian crime dynasty - is expanding into Harry's territory. His operation runs on heroin, cocaine, and trafficked women, and he'll stop at nothing to take what he wants. When Viktor's escalating attacks turn deadly and strike at the heart of Danny's family, the rules of the underworld no longer apply. Danny Pearson isn't just an ex-soldier. He's a weapon - trained by the best, forged in combat, and now driven by something far more dangerous than duty: revenge. From the grimy backstreets of London to the heavily guarded Volkov estate in Russia, Vodka Over London Ice is a blistering, high-octane thriller that launches the internationally bestselling Danny Pearson series. Packed with intense action, sharp dialogue, and a cast of unforgettable characters, this is the book that started it all. Perfect for fans of Andy McNab, Chris Ryan, Lee Child, and Mark Dawson.
