A classified war crime.
A silent network.
A protection mission that was never meant to stay clean.
When Captain Tom Calder's elite close protection unit - Red Watch - deploys to Tbilisi for a high-stakes NATO summit, the brief is simple: keep the principal alive.
But nothing about this operation is simple.
A shadow organisation known only as Iron Chorus is already embedded in the city. Communications are being probed. Crowds are being manipulated. And someone is pulling threads that lead back to a buried military operation from 2003 - a file marked CB/7.
A file that was never meant to surface.
As Calder's team fights to stay ahead of an invisible enemy, the mission shifts from protection to something far more dangerous: exposure. Because the real target isn't the summit.
It's the truth.
And the people who buried it will do anything to keep it that way.
For fans of gritty, intelligent thrillers by Lee Child, Mick Herron, and David Baldacci - Red Watch is a razor-sharp debut in a high-stakes series where loyalty, truth, and survival collide.
