They took someone he swore to protect. Now his past may be the only weapon he has left. Life on the water was meant to be a fresh start for Sam Ireland and his daughter, Isla.

But when his closest ally Sinead is abducted, Sam is dragged back into the shadows he tried to leave behind. In Dublin’s underworld of blackmail, prostitution, and organized crime, enemies circle who know exactly how to exploit his scars. With Isla watching and Sinead’s life on the line, Sam must decide if redemption can be won with violence—or if some debts can never be paid.

Gritty, emotional, and explosive, Before brings the Sam Ireland saga to a razor-edged climax. Perfect for readers who want Jack Reacher with more heart, or Andy McNab with an Irish edge.
