About Seventh

"2014: John "Jack" Cade has left his life, an eager and overly-playful wife and a career long behind him. A decade earlier, destined for a stable and solid progression in the British Police he had quickly risen to fame for his vision and command of an operation targeting a savvy, cruel and frustratingly-well organised Eastern European crime syndicate led by a sociopathic male known as The Jackdaw. Now as far away from his homeland as he could be without heading home again he had swept the positives and the ghosts of ten years prior under the carpet and had begun to live a life as close to normal as a man with his past ever could. A memorable night in Hong Kong and a visit from Lady Luck ensured that he could live a comfortable life; picking up an enquiry here and a girl there. Lately it had been more of the former until stereotypically a girl walked into a bar, started a conversation and captured his imagination. Younger, achingly attractive, intelligent and yet somehow familiar he began to wonder how he could possibly be so lucky twice. Try as he may, his insecurities controlled his thoughts and limited his actions as again and again two simple words kept forming in his mind. Why him? Optimism, a rare visitor disagreed. Why not?"--Publisher description.
