About this listen
For ex-SAS and current MI5 Officer Dave Lomu, Fiji was his childhood home. Leaving under a cloud and not looking back for 20 years means there is little left for him in paradise. But when his family call for help, he returns to a world of ruthless developers, police and government corruption, and the murder of a boy and the disappearance of the half-sister he never knew he had. Lomu has a particular set of skills and is determined to get answers.

Story
America is under attack. Thousands lie dead after simultaneous strikes across the country. The day will come to be known as Bloody Monday. Jason Trapp, codename ‘Hangman’, was a covert operative whose feats became the stuff of legend. He was the tip of the spear—the man his country unleashed when all hope was lost. Six months ago, someone sold him out. The Agency listed him as killed in action. He lost everything—and everyone—he held dear. But Trapp’s not that easy to kill.
