Hidden in Plain Sight: Inspired by the author’s own experiences as an Irish infantry soldier and UN Peacekeeper.

Inspired by the author’s own experiences as an Irish infantry soldier and UN Peacekeeper.People are the new currency. And in a town this corrupt, the exchange rate is blood. Former soldier Lindsey Ryan is no stranger to war, but her newest battlefield is the doorstep of her own home. When Lena, a brutalized Syrian refugee, collapses into her life, Lindsey’s internal sirens scream. She’s been trying to bury her PTSD in the shadows of Cobh in Cork, but Lena is a living reminder that some wars never end. The enemy has a name: Patrick Adebayo. He’s a kingpin who treats human lives like cargo. When Lindsey discovers a child is being smuggled into Adebayo’s stronghold, the time for doing nothing is over. Outnumbered, haunted by her past, and trapped in a town where the police look the other way, Lindsey must unleash the soldier she tried to leave behind. In a race against a rising tide of violence, she has one mission: Get them out. Get them safe. Or die trying.
