Everyone except his old man called him Scope. They always had. He liked the name. Thought it suited him, being simple and to the point. Once upon a time, he’d been a career soldier with a wife and daughter. Now he was a drifter, doing odd jobs here and there, and his wife and daughter were dead. For the last eight months he’d been renting a cottage on the western edge of the New Forest, working as a painter and decorator. Life had been quiet, and if he was honest with himself, pretty dull.

And now it looked like all that was about to change. He put down the axe he’d been using to chop wood and stared at the phone, reading the text for a second, then third, time. It was from his former brother-in-law, Tim Horton, and it read like something out of a thriller.

Am in terrible trouble. Max kidnapped. Being blackmailed. No police. Please come to house. Park fifty metres away out of sight then text me on 07627 533901. Don’t come in. They have cameras. They are watching. This is no joke. Please help!!
