The war was over, leaving behind in its wake a stain on the city that would last for generations to come: the Halifax Riots. It had to happen, Robie mused, as he read the paper; part of his daily ritual. Little did he know that the last three days were nothing compared to what was ahead. Two crooked brothers, the Melansons, in positions of authority and trust, were found out with their hands in the ‘till’ as they conspired to rob the government through fraudulent contracts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. That and, the call from Phil Mulroney asking for his help...once again. This time it was in locating and apprehending another Russian spy. The last one was the year before and that one almost cost his friend and partner’s life. Before these cases were over, he would realize two important things: he no longer had the stomach to deal with men like the Melanson brothers and, his world had changed to the point that there no longer any room for him in it.

Two of the government's most lethal assassins scour rural Colorado to find their missing handler--and discover an insidious and lethal threat along the way in this New York Times bestselling thriller. Will Robie and Jessica Reel are two of the most lethal people alive. They're the ones the government calls in when the utmost secrecy is required to take out those who plot violence and mass destruction against the United States. And through every mission, one man has always had their backs: their handler, code-named Blue Man. But now, Blue Man is missing. Last seen in rural Colorado, Blue Man had taken a rare vacation to go fly fishing in his hometown when he disappeared off the grid. With no communications since, the team can't help but fear the worst. Sent to investigate, Robie and Reel arrive in the small town of Grand to discover that it has its own share of problems. A stagnant local economy and a woefully understaffed police force have made this small community a magnet for crime, drugs, and a growing number of militant fringe groups. But lying in wait in Grand is an even more insidious and sweeping threat, one that may shake the very core of America. And when Robie and Reel find themselves up against an adversary with superior firepower and a home-court advantage, they'll be lucky if they make it out alive, with or without Blue Man...

This is a true story about a shop steward who had 83 grievances with his employer over a 14 month period. By doing his best as a shop steward, he ended up with 57 personal grievances and was threatened with the sack 8 times and was actually sacked twice. The Trade Unions District Audit were informed of these problems though they seemed to decide to protect the employer rather than their union member. Solicitors and barristers were subsequently involved however time passed and this led to time running out for a potential claim. The issues were put into court which, in the opinion of the author, led to rough justice.
