Vinnie has always been different. But Vinnie is a survivor...A
childhood accident robbed Vinnie of his memories, making him
sensitive and anxious, and his difference soon attracted bullies.
If it wasn't for his family and his brother Frank, Vinnie wouldn't
have survived. But as the boys grow up, and after the devastating
loss of their parents, Vinnie finds himself increasingly involved
in violent situations whenever he's with Frank. Is this the type of
man he's become, or can the love of a remarkable woman teach him to
embrace life? When Vinnie is accused of a terrible crime, and looks
set for a long stretch behind bars, fragments of his memory start
to return and he begins to unravel his past. Who was his mother?
What kind of a man is his brother, Frank? And why does death
surround them? Things are not as they seem, but Vinnie can survive
anything... Ross Greenwood is back with this shocking, page-turning
glimpse into the criminal underworld. This book was previously
published as FIFTY YEARS OF FEAR. Praise for Ross Greenwood: 'Move
over Rebus and Morse; a new entry has joined the list of great
crime investigators in the form of Detective Inspector John Barton.
A rich cast of characters and an explosive plot kept me turning the

of the psychological thriller genre Ross Greenwood once again
proves his talent for creating engrossing and gritty novels that
draw you right in and won't let go until you've reached the
shocking ending.' Caroline Vincent at Bitsaboutbooks blog 'Ross
Greenwood doesn't write cliches. What he has written here is a
fast-paced, action-filled puzzle with believable characters that's
spiced with a lot of humour.' author Kath Middleton
