The Protector

Disillusioned after serving in Iraq, Bernie Mallory left the Royal Marines. Now he’s working in private security, watching the backs of journalists and other civilians in war zones around the world. The job gives him the perfect cover to travel back to Iraq, to unearth a secret that has lain buried since he was last there – in a bombed-out graveyard near Fallujah.

But the journalist he is guarding has his own agenda, as does their Iraqi translator. And Mallory soon realises that life in the Royal Marines was a holiday camp compared to the dangers he is now facing.

Duncan Falconer’s explosive new thriller is a gripping and brutally authentic view into the dangerous world of private security – written by one of the few to experience it first-hand. It is an absolute page-turner.
