Quick Before They Catch Us

Family trouble! Growing old quietly was never really an option for Nick Sharman. When he takes on a job for a prosperous Manchester businessman looking for his runaway teenage daughter, Meena, he should, perhaps, have known better. He finds himself in a race against time to save he girl from the kind of trouble that gives families a bad name. Trying to do the right thing, Nick swaps sides and ends up starring in his own version of a Straw Dogs shoot out with family and friends, where nobody comes out the winner.

Mark Timlin is the author of more than 30 novels, including All the Empty Places, Guns of Brixton, and Stay Another Day. His Nick Sharman novels were made into a television series starring Clive Owen.
