## Description

For twenty years Leo Black was in the SAS. Now he lectures on violence instead of committing it. Having put his soldiering days long behind him, Black pursues a respectful academic life. But when a former comrade in arms is killed trying to prevent a scientist's abduction, Black is faced with an unexpected choice. Be the upright citizen the university demands - or avenge the dead man to whom he owes his life . . .
