Guardian\n\n'A funny, moving and thought-provoking tale ... It's brilliant.' Independent on Sunday\n\nSergeant Lester Ferris is a good man in need of a rest. Hes spent a lot of his life being shot at. He has no family, hes nearly forty, burned out and about to be retired. \n\nThe island of Mancreu is the perfect place for Lester to serve out his time and the perfect place for shady business, too, hence the Black Fleet of illicit ships lurking in the bay: listening stations, money laundering operations, drug factories and deniable torture centres. None of which should be a problem, because Lesters brief is to turn a blind eye.\n\nBut Lester has made a friend: a brilliant, internet-addled street kid with a comic-book fixation who might, Lester hopes, become an adopted son. As Man.
