Harry Mann is a loner. He quit the Special Branch and turned freelance. Now he's rated one of the best in the uneasy brotherhood of international bodyguards, but even he has his work cut out for him keeping Gianni Corrente, young Sardinian superstar of Italian football, out of harm's way.

A bodyguard expects trouble. But as the corpses pile up and the intrigue thickens around him, Mann realises he's taken on big trouble - and will be lucky to get out alive...

By an author who has been compared to Dick Francis, THE BODYGUARD MAN is an explosive thriller full of non-stop action and devestating shock twists. It will plunge you headlong into a world of treachery and violence, of mystery and sudden death.
