Dust

He fought monsters in the dark. Then came the real fight. His codename was Dust - because, apart from bodies, that's all he ever left behind. Alongside "Jazz", "Red Bull" and "Mouse", he formed the elite team assembled by the shadowy "Parker". Funded off the books and hidden even from official MI5 records, they were the UK's invisible shield against threats no one else could face. No medals. No recognition. Not even their families knew the truth. But the years were taking their toll. Dust was burning out, and Jazz was battling demons of her own. The missions came and went - each one brutal, each one leaving deeper scars. Then came the bullets. First Dust took one to the head, surviving only through sheer instinct. Three months later Jazz was shot three times, one round shattering her collarbone. Their bodies began to heal - but their minds were another story. And then there was Donahue - London's most ruthless gang leader, with a sickening taste for children. Taking him down would cost them everything. When the dust settled, Dust walked away, returning to his wife and child. But just as he thought the worst was over, life delivered the cruellest blow of all: his wife's devastating diagnosis. A gritty, unflinching spy thriller about loyalty, trauma, and the price of staying in the shadows.
