Heads You Die, Tails They Kill You

This work is an explosive and unpredictable action thriller that detonates off the page! Heads you die, tails they kill you. Either way, you wind up in the grave. And that's one place Winston Moon doesn't much want to be right now. War hero, trained assassin, expert in jungle warfare, Win Moon has seen his fair share of death - the slashed and hacked heaps of dead in Cambodia; dead infantrymen in the jungles of Vietnam; starved, emaciated bodies in Laos; a railway yard in DuBhat running with the blood of innocents...But no death has affected him like Charlie Soong's. Win and Charlie go way back, so when Win's mate and his beautiful young daughter are blown to pieces in a Triad reprisal hit on a local grocery store, Win leaves his peaceful hideout in Port Douglas and comes to Sydney to grant Charlie's widow, Ming, her only wish. Revenge. There's only one problem. Ming has drawn Winston to the attention of her local MP, Senator Matthew Ryan, and Ryan has a deal of his own waiting for Mr Moon. The names of the Triad leaders in exchange for the execution of one Sir Peter Court, advisor to the British Ambassador; a heroin dealer with diplomatic immunity; and a really nasty guy. Whoever the power behind Ryan is, Moon doesn't want to know, but if he keeps his side of the bargain, he'll damn well make sure they keep theirs...Except Winston hasn't counted on how high this whole setup goes. Not even his Vietnam Special Operations training can help him when the big guns train their sights on him. James Tatham lives in northern NSW.
