About this audiobook

MARBELLA, 1985. Excess in a paradise of corruption. Haunted Falklands veteran Eddie Lawson has honored his dying mother's wish: never become a criminal. Destitute and estranged from family, he hitchhikes to Spain seeking his long-absent brother Charlie, hoping for enough money to join mercenaries in Africa—his last chance to be a soldier again. Eddie finds his brother living in luxury. Charlie has a villa, sports cars, and hosts lavish parties, supposedly from legitimate business. The truth: Charlie is a fugitive hiding from British authorities among fellow outlaws on Spain's notorious coast. While Charlie enjoys his ill-gotten wealth, his resources dwindle and justice looms. As the brothers reconnect, Eddie faces a choice between renewed fraternal bond and his promise to his mother. Can Eddie resist the criminal temptations of the "Costa del Crime," or follow his brother into the underworld already consuming him?
