Publisher's Synopsis
"Declan McIver blasts his way in to join the league of international hard men with this tense, fast-paced and brutal story of terrorist threats, double-cross and political chicanery!" - Adrian Magson (author of the Harry Tate thriller series) "Superb effort! Veil of Civility reminded me of the hard-as-nails spy thrillers of the 1980s, upgraded to modern day reality! Scary and original!" - Ian Kharitonov (author of The Russian Renaissance) NOTHING CAN STAY HIDDEN FOREVER... During the Soviet-Afghan war an elite team of operatives were trained in the mountains of Afghanistan. Loyal to the Provisional Irish Republican Army, they were known only by their codename, Black Shuck. In the years that followed - betrayed from within by the internal power struggles of the IRA - the team members were hunted down. Three survived, fading into the turbulent streets of Northern Ireland. To this day, their identities remain a mystery - but nothing can stay hidden forever. For years, Declan McIver has lived under the radar - married to a beautiful woman and operating a successful business - but that life is about to change. When a planned meeting with an old friend goes horribly wrong, Declan finds himself on the run from a shadowy conspiracy that will stop at nothing to keep their evil intentions a closely guarded secret. To survive, he'll have to rely on long dormant training and reach deep within himself to a place and time he'd hoped to never return. As his past is laid open for the world to see and events spiral further out of control - who will win and at what cost? "Ian Graham is one of the thriller genre's rising stars!" - Stephen England (author of Pandora's Grave) "Ian Graham writes the kind of stories I want to read. Full on, Action packed, adrenaline fueled. Keep your eye on this author, he's going to be a big name in thrillers before long." - Matt Hilton (author of the Joe Hunter thriller series)
