John Milton thought he was done with Avi Bachman. The most dangerous man he's ever known has been incarcerated in Angola, the brutal Louisiana prison. Inmates rarely leave Angola. Once you go in, the only way out is in a box.
But Bachman is no ordinary prisoner. He was an assassin for the Mossad, and he has favours to call in.
Milton is in the Australian outback with an old friend and his flirtatious kid sister, looking for a summer’s peace to put his troubled mind to rest. But Bachman has other plans. He thinks that Milton killed his wife, and now he wants revenge.
From Australia to Israel, from Hong Kong to Croatia, here is the conclusion of this brutal chapter in Milton’s life. The two headhunters are on a collision course, and only one of them will walk away.
Mark Dawson is the new master of the page-turning thriller and more than 350,000 copies of the Milton series have been downloaded since it was first published. Don’t start this book in bed - you will lose sleep.©2025 W. F. Howes Ltd

Much of the story is set in Australia. Like many British writers who have never visited, Mark Dawson falls into the trap that Australia is still living in the 1950s.
Just some examples - Houses typically do not have basements. Not a thing in Australia and quite rare (not necessary). Banking is world cutting edge and concentrated. Small banks as described have not been a thing here since the early 1990s. Also, banks typically do not just have bullet proof glass but fast steel screens. Cash has been dispensed usually from cash machines since about 2000.
The ticketing as described at Broken Hill Railway Station has been absent for at least 30 years before this book was set. Whist the laconic attitude described is still a thing, Australia is far more sophisticated than suggested.
Riding a box car is just about impossible. The trains have been well coralled and organised for a long time. You might be able to ride empty grain cars going inland, but going the other way - just not possible.
The book implies that shearers use manual shears. These have been gone for over 100 years.
Good story but let down by lack of basic research
