Days of the Dead
Ultimate soldier. Ultimate mission. But can the SAS break in to a Colombian island prison and snatch an Argentine killer?
1996: a terminally ill father desperately seeks answers to what happened to his son, missing for twenty years. He has the names of two Argentine men – one in Mexico City, the other imprisoned on the Colombian island of Providencia – but no one to ask the questions.
A missing girl’s family have given her up for dead when they stumble upon a Miami newspaper story mentioning two of her friends. One has just died; the other, half-deranged, tells a garbled story of sexual slavery on a Caribbean island which sounds suspiciously like Providencia.
MI6 and the British government are certain that a huge drug-trafficking empire is being run from the prison, and know that some of the profits are being funnelled by its Argentine ‘guest’ into financing a mercenary invasion of the Falklands. Ignored by the Colombian authorities and mysteriously obstructed by their American allies, the British have no choice but to send in their own elite force – the SAS.

A gripping story from beginning to end. Docherty, Carmen and Shepreth the three main characters perform in a way I would expect. Danger, Drugs & Death being the main ingredient in a story that takes one to a variety of countries. It reveals what I feel sure happens in politics in some countries. When a job needs doing there is always those that risk their lives to carry out dangerous assignments for the greater good of others. In general, I think David Monnery has done a great job in writing this book. It highlights the terrible situation re drugs that are the cause of so many deaths.
