Redcap

by Brian Callison, Terry Wale (Narrator)

A brand-new title from this bestselling author Bill Walker, a veteran Royal Military Police staff sergeant, carries a dual burden. The first to maintain his hard-as-nails. Redcap image, at odds with the real Walker. The second is simply to stay alive - not easy when his commanding officer has sworn to destroy him. With the system on his side, Major Steadman, a psychotic killer, holds all the cards. The trouble is, only Walker is aware of the Major's darker side. Worse, he has no hard evidence to prove that Steadman has committed one of the most dreadful of crimes. But then, following a terrorist attack, a further atrocity is perpetrated - only this time Walker can't turn a blind eye...

Reviews

[Mark Baines · Rating 1 out of 5]

Couldn't get into this at all. A real struggle. Gave up after Chapter 3.
Most unlike me not to push through once I've started.

True to military behaviour thoroughly enjoyable. I've reread it three times!
