The Bodyguard Man

by Philip Evans

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...
