Whatever It Takes

Rate this book
They've taken your daughter. How far will you go to get her back?

For Danny Pearson and his team, the answer is across four countries and through hell itself.

The call comes from Fergus—Danny's old SAS brother. His daughter Kirsty has been taken by a Slovenian trafficking gang. She's gone. The clock is ticking. And every hour that passes takes her further from reach.

But they picked the wrong girl. And they sure as hell picked the wrong father.

Danny, Fergus and Chaz don't wait for authorities or negotiators. They go. Immediately. No hesitation. No backup plan. Just three elite soldiers and Scott, hunting an international criminal network with one bring Kirsty home alive.

The chase tears across borders—Croatia to Slovenia, Austria to Germany. Every hour counts. Every lead could be the last. The traffickers think they're untouchable, protected by distance and anonymity.

They're about to learn what happens when you take the daughter of an SAS warrior.

Danny and his team will do whatever it takes. Break every law. Cross every line. Leave a trail of bodies across Europe if that's what it takes to get Kirsty back.

Because when it's family, there are no rules. Only results.Series fans are

Ready to witness the full fury of Danny's team unleashed?

Having read all of the Danny Pearson thrillers I can honestly say, this is the best one yet! I was hooked from page 1 and would have finished the book last night if I could have kept my eyes open longer!

I highly recommend the whole series and hope Mr Taylor has number 14 ready for publication very soon!

Fast and furious

Danny and his gang get mixed up in trouble again, always finding innovative answers to difficult problems. The back story about Dept D looks like it will run on in future books - hopefully soon. (Hint)!
