They must dig deep to survive injury, imprisonment, kidnapping, and a desperate chase across Europe, with the real risk that nobody will escape unscathed.

From the streets of Civil war torn Sarajevo, to rural Hampshire, to the mountains of Macedonia, this book takes a reader for the journey as it's protaganists engage in the fight of their lives.
