Nobody's Hero

The man who can''t feel fear is back, in a race against time to find the woman who knows a secret that could take down the world as we know it. When a shocking murder and abduction on the streets of London leads investigators to him, Ben Koenig has no idea at first why the highest echelons of the CIA would need his help. But then he realises he knows the woman who carried out the killings. Ten years earlier, without being told why, he was tasked with helping her disappear. Far from being a deranged killer, she is the gatekeeper of a secret that could take down the West, so for years she has been in hiding. Until now. And if she has resurfaced, the danger may be closer and more terrifying than anyone can imagine. So Ben Koenig has to find her before it''s too late. But Ben suffers from a syndrome which means he can''t feel fear. He doesn''t always know when he should walk away, or when he''s leading others into danger . . . Fast, brutal, smart, and violent, Nobody''s Hero is an engrossing story of contract killers, international terrorism, hard choices -- and a fearless man Praise for M W Craven: ''Heart-pounding, hilarious, sharp and shocking, Dead Ground is further proof that M.W.
