About this audiobook
A Manchester crime thriller with political intrigue and a love story at its heart. An ex-paramilitary past, security-service double deals and post-Good Friday tensions collide with an ordinary man’s new romance.
A New Love. A Loaded Gun. A Price on His Head.
When Mark meets Ian near his south Manchester home, he has no idea about Ian’s past as a member of a loyalist paramilitary gang in his native Northern Ireland. He doesn’t know why Ian’s former comrades have put a price on his head, or about the agreement Ian struck with the British security services that left him with blood on his hands.
Then Mark discovers the loaded gun Ian keeps in his bedside drawer, and he wants to know what the hell is going on. When he learns the full truth of what he’s getting into, he demands that Ian teach him how to use it. Whether it'll be to attack or to defend, he can’t yet say.
Underhand deals by politicians opposed to the Good Friday Agreement leave Ian more exposed than ever to those seeking retribution, and Mark realises he may have to kill to stop Ian being killed. The only question is who gets to whom first.
The Wild Heart is a standalone Manchester crime thriller, for readers who love political intrigue, love stories under fire and post-Troubles reckonings. Perfect for fans of Adrian McKinty, Ian Rankin and Tana French.
