Description of
Gun For Hire: Inside the secret world of Britains bodyguards
Many people would imagine life in Civvy Street to be dull after the SAS. Theyd be wrong. Nigel Ely has earned a reputation as one of the SASs best killers. If an assured, efficient hit was required, he was the man they sent. He survived the bloodbaths of the Falklands and Northern Ireland but nothing lasts forever. Finding himself out of the SAS and back in Civvy Street, Nigel Ely enters a strange new world of violence and death. In this world, the actors are no less deadly and sometimes much less principled than the enemies of war. And they walk the streets daily, rubbing shoulders with the public, unnoticed by all but the initiated. Hired to prevent a bloody hit on the streets of London, Ely becomes embroiled in a web of high-stakes deceit, intrigue and violence, in a world riven with cold-hearted gang warfare. The only question remaining is can he stop it? Praise for Gun for Hire: Fast paced, pulsing with authenticity, Ely has a hyper-macho and gripping narrative voice.
