Jon Kavanagh is an ex military man. When he was injured, he left the military and went under the wing of Maurice, crime boss and head of The Syndicate.
When Kavanagh allows a young witness to live, The Syndicate is not happy with his decision. That’s when he realises he needs to get out, but leaving the organisation for good is not that easy.
Years later,Kavanagh finds himself on a journey of self exploration to seek redemption and salvation. He also wants to know what’s happened to that little girl that he had allowed to live. He cannot forget her face even after all these years. The question is, will The Syndicate let him forget.
Kavanagh as a character is a revelation and also the star of the story. Gritty and complex, he is haunted by his past and unsure of his future. Readers will be mesmerised by him and the subtle observations by the author about how the events that happened in our past can shape and change us in the present.
An enjoyable read.
