The arms dealer betrayed them. Now the survivors want revenge.Eighteen years after the barbarous war with the Serbs that tore their communities apart, a group of Croatian villagers discover the identity of the Englishman who they believe betrayed them by welching on a deal to supply arms.
With revenge in sight at last, they hire a professional killer from London to track him down . . . but is the story as simple as they think?
A brilliant, bruising thriller, told in a unique way, about what happens when the hand of the past suddenly reaches out to the present – and is holding a gun.
