Shadows At The Docks

A city rotting from the waterline. A system built on fear. A man who doesn’t look away.

Former SAS operator Tony Shaw lives off-grid and keeps to a simple rule: step in only when someone’s about to disappear.

But when a frightened consultant hires him for one night of protection, Shaw is dragged into a dockside operation built on bribes, forged manifests — and bodies that never make the news.

A sniper on a hotel roof.
Cages welded inside unmarked containers.
One name whispered through the yards: HLD-47.

As Shaw digs into Pierhead Holdings’ midnight routes, he uncovers a network enforced by men who never miss twice — all controlled by Rourke, a ghost who thinks Shaw won’t push back.

He’s wrong.

With a storm rising and the docks flooding, Shaw must drag an unwilling survivor through ambushes, kill-zones, and dead-end streets — racing to expose the chain of command before the next shipment leaves and more people vanish for good.

Some systems can’t be reformed. They can only be broken.

Perfect for fans of Lee Child, Mark Dawson, David Baldacci and J.T. Brannan — Shadows at the Docks is a relentless British thriller of corruption, consequence and one man who refuses to stand by.
