Scar Tissue by Ollie Ollerton opens with the line “Every battle leaves its mark...”. It is presented as a thriller centred on former Special Forces soldier Alex Abbott.

Synopsis

Alex Abbott has left the Middle East under a cloud and is now living hand-to-mouth in Singapore, working as a gun for hire. Estranged from his family and troubled by the past, he drinks to numb the pain, taking some comfort in being far from Baghdad.

After a job goes badly wrong, Abbott finds himself in trouble, and then discovers his military son, Nathan, is missing in Iraq. Convinced something is wrong and driven to find him, Abbott returns to Baghdad, reconnecting with old acquaintances as he searches. As the body count rises and old wounds reopen, a death within his former crew points to a clear link with Nathan, and Abbott begins to suspect he has walked into a trap.
