A thrilling tale of a wayward brother's revenge on his 'cuckoo' twin.
When you set out to destroy someone, you destroy yourself.
Eddy, broke and barely staying one step ahead of his pursuers as he crosses Europe, learns of Darryl, his brother, and his boastful success back in London. Switching direction he flees Spain to return to England and wreak revenge on this, his ‘cuckoo’ twin.
Darryl and Eddy were born on the same day, in troubled Belfast, but it was the adopted Darryl who enjoyed the attention, in whom all their parents’ emotions were invested – with Eddy pushed from the nest and left to fend for himself. Only his grandfather made the effort to steer Eddy’s course, from their orienteering on Belfast’s wet hills, towards Sandhurst and an Army Officer’s career.
Now, with that career ruined, and following the botched attempt at private-security work, Eddy is on the run and at last his frustrations find their target.
He must destroy Darryl – his wealth, his business, his marriage – and throw him from the nest.
Eddy is a turbulent force-of-nature – relying on his charisma and instincts as he inserts himself into Darryl’s world of smoke-and-mirrors management consultancy. Will Eddy learn enough, and in time, of his own natural strengths to avoid bringing disaster on those around him, and himself?
