Heavy Lies the Crown (Dak Harper Thriller #4)

Trouble is coming to the London underworld.

For a job that came out of the blue, this latest gig could keep former Delta Forcer operator Dak Harper in the black for quite a while.

On his way to London to track a crazed former colonel who wants the ex-Special Forces commando dead, Dak is diverted by an urgent request from his employer, a thirteen-year-old multimillionaire with a passion for antiquities.

Dak’s new assignment? Find the fabled Welsh Crown, a mysterious thirteenth-century artifact that’s been missing for centuries. Whether originally stolen by scoundrel or sovereign, the crown now rests in the grimy little hands of one of London’s seediest would-be gang lords.

The gig sounds easy enough at first—until Dak’s target starts a bloody turf war with a larger, more powerful syndicate.
Suddenly caught in the crossfire of open gang warfare, what Dak hoped would be a simple smash-and-grab now pits him against two bloodthirsty crews who value money far more than human life or priceless antiquities. As the Welsh Crown goes missing yet again amid deadly street battles, Dak worries he might never escape England with his life, much less with his quarry.
