Bushman

by Anton Marks

Omar Watson, aka Bushman, is military intelligence Jamaica’s best-kept secret. He has infiltrated drug gangs, dismantled terrorist cells and prevented coups d'état with guile and violence . He becomes a victim of his own success when after a change of government and allegiances, his unit is locked down, and his existence is denied. He disappears from public view, grows his locks, changes his features and starts to plant marijuana on his ancestral land, his blood-soaked past a memory.
His brother takes an entirely different path.
Everett Watson is a financial wizard living in London, and he has devised an ingenious system for stock market trading. They have a long-standing hatred for each other as Precious Jackson, the woman Bushman loved, left him to marry his brother. Everett's rise is meteoric until he incurs the wrath of a powerful crime boss, and Bushman has to put aside family feuds to come to his aid. Having no choice but to reactivate his lethal skills, Bushman faces up against London’s new breed of gangsters and prepares to do battle on foreign soil. He has to find his kidnapped brother, protect his family and eliminate the threat. The odds are against him, and chaos reigns, but he wouldn’t have it any other way.
They wanted a fight, and he was about to give them a war.

Love Anton Marks’ books. My only complaint is he needs to add a Jamaican Patois glossary
