'Pulse-pounding new thriller' THE MIRROR
ONE LAST MISSION TO AVENGE THE FALLEN
The old unit will reunite to complete one last mission in honour of their fallen comrade.
When retired Royal Marine Frankie Chapman is killed during a home invasion, his valuable military medals are stolen. The medals resurface on the black market, and members of the 11/06 club discover they might have fallen into the hands of a wealthy billionaire who dabbles in human trafficking.
They may be old hard-cases living on past glories from the Falklands but they're still an elite group of ex-military operatives. Each one owes Frankie their life and will stop at nothing to repay their debt, so they come together for one final mission – to steal the medals back.
And Frankie's daughter, Josie, wants in on the action. But Josie wants more than just her dad's medals. She wants revenge…
