Description
Kosovo, 1999. In the shadow of an impending NATO bombing campaign, James Palatine of the Army Intelligence Corps has joined an elite unit of the SAS for his first mission behind enemy lines.
A woman’s desperate cry for help draws them to a remote farmhouse, where Palatine makes a split-second decision that he bitterly regrets. Just hours later he sees a chance to redeem himself—in his own eyes, at least—when his unit finds a young girl close to death in the freezing woods. But rescuing the girl proves only to be the beginning of a new nightmare.
Against a backdrop of escalating violence, Palatine’s life spirals into an underworld of predatory gangsters and duplicitous spies—and takes him on a journey deep into the horrors of war and the darkness within his own soul.

Advance Praise
Praise for the first James Palatine novel, Little Sister:
‘Giles O’Bryen clearly knows which buttons to press in this his first thriller...The unusual main location—the Western Sahara—is described in all its terrible beauty and political complexity, thus adding depth to a standard twisty tale of duplicitous spooks and greedy crooks. James’s alliance with a pair of Ukrainian goons is especially horrifying and hilarious...More please.’ —London Evening Standard
‘Featuring spies, black humour and suspense, it’s a novel that is almost impossible to put down...It’s dark, tense and the politics of the Western Sahara are fascinating.’ —Pure M
