Trigger Point (The Gabriel Wolfe Thrillers Book 1) by Andy Maslen

He’s ex-SAS and still fighting his country’s enemies … and his own demons.
Meet Gabriel Wolfe. His SAS career came to an end when a covert mission in Africa was betrayed. He lost a good friend in the firefight and, suffering from PTSD, resigned his commission six months later.

Now he works for his old CO, Don Webster as a government troubleshooter in a covert ops outfit called The Department. As Don puts it, ‘The job’s pretty easy, Old Sport. You find trouble. And you shoot it.’

Kasym brings the long-bladed knife up so Chloe can see the orange glow of the passing streetlamps reflected in the polished steel. The move works. It usually does. She becomes completely still. Sarah, Chloe’s mother, stares open-mouthed at the blade. It has a very narrow tip and glints viciously along its stone-whetted edge.

So begins the kidnapping that plunges Gabriel Wolfe into a search and rescue mission in the Baltic state of Estonia. But there is more at stake than the lives of two British tourists. Someone is tinkering with a performance-enhancing drug designed to help British fighter pilots exploit the potential of the Typhoon fighter.

Caught between Russian mafia bosses and Chechen terrorists, Gabriel has to find the hostages before the crowds at the Farnborough Airshow witness a jet fighter flown into the ground at 900 mph by its hallucinating pilot.
