The Guardian

'If Harry Carver wants to come in, you either open the door or order new hinges.'

Harry Carver has been on the wrong side of the law. He's a man you don't want to mess with.A former mercenary and paramilitary in some of the most terrifying organised fighting groups in the world, Carver stops at nothing to hunt down those who do him wrong.

Born American, living in Britain, Carver is protecting Lynn, his vulnerable ward and her daughter, Irene. But when both go missing, he is forced to set off on his latest rampage as he learns the shocking truth: Irene, young and beautiful, has been sold into modern-day slavery.

Sigmund Dark is the illustrious and Machiavellian owner of an elite prostitution ring, with syndicates in London, Paris, and all major areas of Europe. Sitting atop his constructed throne in an elaborate Carcassonne palace, Dark thinks he is impenetrable and infallible.

But he hasn't planned for the fury of Harry Carver.

Expert fighter, and an expert detective, Carver skates his way around the streets of Paris and elegant Carcassonne to track down Irene's kidnappers. He must force his way into Dark's shady, horrific prostitution ring, any way he can.

He will not give in.

He is a Guardian until death.

'The Guardian' is a thrilling story of one man's fight to save his loved ones from the dark, terrifying labyrinth of modern-day slavery.
