Cold Monday

Haunted by the brutal killing of his wife, a UN interpreter in Bosnia, ex-SAS operative Ed Coltrane is consumed with hunting down her murderers. Drinking heavily and spending too much time and money on the search, Coltrane' s life is going into meltdown. Just as it seems he can fall no further, a former colleague informs him that one of his wife' s killers is in London, as a guest of the British government. Certain unofficial figures in the corridors of power would like to see this man disappear, and they' d like Ed Coltrane to accept the contract. Although he has no wish to commit what amounts to a state-sanctioned murder, the desire for revenge is too strong, and Coltrane agrees to pull the trigger. Plunging into the dark heart of modern Europe, Ed Coltrane is about to uncover a covert act of national betrayal that is as shocking as it is unexpected.
