Chapter 1 Prologue
A helicopter pilot.
If you’d asked me what I was going to be when I grew up, back when I was a round-faced teenager, that would have been my answer. No hesitation. I knew I was born to fly, right up until the first time I boarded a plane and my family holiday was cut short by an unexpectedly crippling panic attack. I’ve never managed to shake that terror, and I haven’t boarded an aircraft since.
But that fear, the lung-crushing, paralysing dread I ex-perienced so long ago in my cramped window seat was nothing compared to this.
What I feel now is beyond panic.
Because … someone knows.
My secrets are in their hands. Hands that were, just days ago, soaked in the blood of a man it should have been impossible to harm. Hands that could tear me apart just as effortlessly.
I suspect that they’re enjoying this too much to kill me, though. For now, at least. They’ll toy with me first, destroy everything I have.
Ruin me.
But before my dirty laundry is thrown out in a heap to be picked through and scrutinised, I feel like I should open the windows and let some fresh air diffuse a bit of truth into my situation.
I am not guilty.
But even I can admit that doesn’t make me innocent.
