John Winter thought his flying days were over. But when his new life falls victim to dirty, distant war, Winter's unique skills, honed over years in the military, mean someone's going to pay. The CIA black ops wing is only too happy to let a former British combat pilot, SAS man and mercenary with nothing left to lose make sure they do. Sent on a covert, deniable mission to South America, Winter faces a ruthless and powerful enemy. Success or failure will come down to his ability to lead a rag-tag air force from the cockpit of a lethal but battleworn British jet fighter: the English Electric Lightning F6. Bristling with authenticity and authority, WHITE LIE is military thriller writing of the highest calibre.
