Before

Dangerous loyalties collide in this emotionally charged Irish thriller

A friend abducted. An ocean between them.

Ex-marine Sam Ireland only wants his daughter to be safe. But when his closest ally, Sinead, is abducted, Dublin’s underworld drags him back into violence forcing Sam to become the killer he swore he’d left behind.

Can he save Sinead before his past destroys them all?

Gritty thriller with a sharp Irish edge, a wounded ex-commando, a woman he can't leave behind, and a Dublin underworld that knows exactly where to hurt him.

They took the woman who knows his scars. Now Sam Ireland is coming home.

Sam Ireland has done everything he can to disappear, raising his daughter, Isla, aboard their boat and putting distance between them and Ireland, violence, and every ghost that knows his name.

Then Sinead is taken.

She is not just an old ally. She is the woman who sees too much, knows too much, and still believes there is something in Sam worth saving.

To get her back, Sam returns to Dublin's underworld of blackmail, exploitation, and organised crime, where every lead is a trap, and his enemies hold the one thing he cannot afford to lose.

But this time, violence is not the only thing waiting in the dark. So is the truth about what Sinead means to him.

Before is the emotionally charged fourth book in the Sam Ireland Thrillers — a twisty, unputdownable thriller with hard-hitting action, dangerous loyalties, and a damaged hero fighting for the family he never believed he deserved. Perfect for readers who want Reacher-style justice with more heart, or Andy McNab with real emotional weight.
