YOU CAN MAKE BAD CHOICES FOR GOOD REASONS…
SOMETIMES THOSE BAD CHOICES LET YOU LIVE
“How does this work?” Michelle looking at Ben on the doorstep.
“I was hoping you’d tell me.” Ben hoping the girl knew about hiring a gigolo.
“You don’t know?”
Ben shrugged. “I feel like that kid in Die Hard, asking how the limo service worked.”
“You like Die Hard?”
“Everybody likes Die Hard.”
Michelle didn’t. “I prefer When Harry Met Sally.”
Benjamin J. Green is the tennis pro at a holiday resort in Spain. Michelle Cordero Belen is the bride-to-be at a hen party staying at Laguna Park. Ben is hired as a gigolo for one night but neither of them wants to go through with it. Despite their better judgement, they fall in love and run off together. But Ben is a UK thief hiding out on the Costa del Sol, and Michelle is the daughter of a Mexican drug cartel boss. The marriage is intended to cement a merger with a Spanish cartel. Add to that, Ben steals money from the resort safe only to find there is far too much. Laguna Park is a money laundering operation. So now they have the money launderers and two drug cartels chasing them through Spain, France and Italy. Not exactly When Harry Met Sally.

“You could well be the worst typist in the Corps. Which is a shame because you could have been one of the best soldiers I ever trained.”
Sgt Hopkins looked at Pte Grant. “Being good at weapons drills and unarmed combat isn’t everything. But what you’ve done today. That’s a different matter.”
“What have I done today?”
“The number one rule of any soldier, combat, clerk or engineer. What every soldier learns. Is that you don’t fight for your government, your queen or your country. You fight for the man beside you. You help dig his trench. You watch his back. And you throw yourself on the grenade to save him.”
“I didn’t throw myself on a grenade.”
“You ruined your career and your future for the man beside you at Waterloo Station. I hope he appreciates what you’ve done.”
3BAPD, Bracht, Germany
Before Snake Pass saw Jim Grant sent to America, and before Jamaica Plain saw Grant recruited by Boston PD, and even before the Black Hawk Down incident when he was in the British Army. Before all of that there was Operation Snow Queen. With only two years’ service, Grant is posted to Germany after a runaway suitcase at Waterloo Station breaks a civilian passenger’s leg. He replaces a Company Clerk who lost his head in an accident, and a smuggling ring that doesn’t want him. Following an explosion at the Ammunition Depot, and a court martial in Dusseldorf, Grant is assigned to a training exercise in Bavaria. A place where landslides and falling off a mountain are the least of his worries.

Mick Habergham enjoys working the nightshift; patrolling the midnight hours when the world is asleep and police work is simple. Sunday night should be quiet but, as his mind wrestles with divorcing Angela, it will prove to be anything but. From the mad knifeman of Hill Top Hostel to the most inept suicide attempt at the House of Pain, Mick will face all manner of obstacles to a peaceful night. If it isn’t Marak Vargo or Booger Smith, it will be the tragic pensioners of Maple Court or the battle of The Alex Public House. Midnight ruins so many lives. Tonight, one will threaten Mick’s own. If he wants a happy retirement he will first have to walk through fields of heartache and survive the ruins of midnight.
