About This Book

A lean, scarred man nicknamed Grit is sought by a small, secretive group to act as the fourth member in a dangerous, unlawful enterprise; the narrative follows his recruitment and the careful planning by a Colonel, Simmonds and a younger associate, while episodes from his past in mining camps and paramilitary service illustrate a near‑complete lack of fear. The story emphasizes secrecy, moral ambiguity and the tension between boldness and caution as loyalties are tested, old acquaintances reappear, and high‑risk schemes in rough settings draw the characters into escalating danger.
