Opening Shot

In Afghanistan a Government minister is kidnapped and killed. A British army helicopter is lost. And a British secret agent goes missing.

In London a criminal gang is churning out counterfeit money. Preparations for the London 2012 Olympic Games are well underway. And Dave Gold is wrongly arrested for murder.

Released from custody Dave sets out to prove his innocence. His enquiries lead him to the counterfeiters and bring violence his way. Fortunately Dave can look after himself. He's the coach for the British Olympic judo team. But when he also attracts the attention of Afghan terrorists intent on sabotaging the Olympic Games, and more, it begins to look like he may be out of his depth.

The police and the security services have their hands full and are slow to fit the pieces together. Will they be able to work things out in time to stop the terrorists? Or will it be left to Dave to unravel the mess into which he has inadvertently stumbled?

About the Author

Sean O'Hara was born in London in 1961, and was educated in both England and Australia, which instilled in him a love of travel and a sense of wanderlust.

He spent most of his working life in the UK financial services sector. While working at the United Kingdom Pensions Regulator he was the UK delegate to the OECD on private pension matters and was also the UK delegate to the International Organisation Of Pension Supervisors. Both those roles allowed him to indulge his love of international travel.

Opting for a lifestyle change he relocated to Thailand in 2009, where he lives with his wife Fon and their three dogs. He now teaches Science and English at a Thai high school.

It was while living in Thailand that he killed his first cobra. He takes no pleasure from killing snakes. But neither does he like to share his garden with them.

He has written two novels. 'Opening Shot' is his second novel. His first novel, 'The Curse Of The White Tiger' is set in Thailand and is also a thriller. It will soon be available through the Smashwords platform.
