Vengeance on the Costa del Sol
The Marbella Project is a high octane thriller about a man's quest for vengeance following the brutal murder of his son by the Russian mafia on the Costa del Sol. The Spanish police seem powerless to act so Dan Green decides to take matters into his own hands. Dan is no ordinary father. Previously a captain in the SAS, he gets himself fit, recruits one of his former comrades and embarks on his revenge mission. The relentless action is set mainly in Spain but switches to Moscow and London as the two sides chase each other across Europe.
The main characters are Dan and his colleague Jimmy but other characters who feature are Viktor Durchenko, the head of the Russian family, Vitaly Petrov, his feared right hand man, Luis Mendez, a former police officer who helps Dan and Jimmy, and Dana, the owner of a fetish boutique in Puerto Banus whose path crosses with Dan's.
The Costa del Sol is an area with which Nigel James is intimately familiar as he has a home there and it is the perfect location as the glamorous and exciting backdrop for most of the action. Anyone who has visited the area will recognise many of the locations.
Initial reaction to the book has been very positive and this will be the first of a series featuring Dan Green as the lead character.
The book would make an excellent action movie and Nigel's suggestion for the lead role would be Jason Statham or maybe the actors who play the lead roles in the TV series Strike Back on Sky 1 as Dan and Jimmy.
