Here's the book blurb:
After nine
years in maximum security prison for crimes against the state, Ger Mayes is on
release. Free to try and recover the life he destroyed, free to rediscover love
and normality.
"The worst criminal I have ever met," said the judge at Ger's trial, and it wasn't a professional compliment. Has nearly a decade of rubbing shoulders with Ireland's criminal elite improved Ger's skills?

Two weeks later Ger is sat in a Dublin park, the uniformed authorities to his right, the gangsters with their bad trousers to his left and a blonde woman's fragrant head in a bag at his feet. He should have got the hell out of Dodge when DI Andy McAuliffe told him to. How did it come to this?
His wife is ex, his son estranged. The authorities have his number and so do the local criminal fraternity. A couple of choice decisions place Ger in the middle of a brothel turf war, and he decides to rescue somebody that he used to know. He chases his dreams but murder, kidnap and blackmail fall effortlessly at his feet. Fate hasn't had its fill of Ger but will his natural survival instinct win out again?
You have to be in to win, so please let me have your comments here or mail me. Due for release in May 2013. If you have an alternative title suggestion then let me know that too!
