Jonno and Posie, a new couple, think they are embarking on a romantic, carefree break in the sun. But when the MI5 team arrives in paradise, everything changes--their holiday is about to become a terrifying journey into the violent global business of organized crime in The Outsiders by Gerald Seymour--a sophisticated thriller from a renowned master.
