Jamaica Quay

After years of putting both his own and his family's lives on the line in the name of trying to make the world a better place, Simon Hunter is attempting to put his specialist set of skills to work in a less dangerous environment. Retired from the life of furthering societal and political change through the will of his fists, the entrepreneur has adopted a new hands-off approach, instead using his wealth and business acumen to change the reality of the impoverished and oppressed without ever having to lay a finger on another human being.It's not that the more straight-forward approach didn't get results - and Simon would be the first to admit that a bullet is often quicker and more efficient in stopping rampaging dictators than financial aid - but with the UK Government breathing down his neck, unable to see his family because of the danger that follows him and his own personal demons to deal with, a violent and direct response isn't in his best interests.But with tensions brewing across Europe and the mysterious right-wing zealot known only as the 'Heartlander' in the process of executing a plot that could have huge ramifications that far exceed the confines of his homeland in Finrovistan, Simon's passive, philanthropic life is forced to be put on hold. The final part of the Simon Hunter story following the explosive events of Smoke and Tranquillity, Robert Swann's Jamaica Quay concludes the globe-trotting adventure series in suitably bombastic fashion. Constantly trying to shake off the persistent government agencies trying to keep him in check while also being on the receiving end of a mad revolutionary's rifle, Simon is forced to once again to set free a dangerous side of himself for a mission that could either result in his downfall, or the new life he so desperately desires.
