Mission

Mission: City Cleansing
A novel by John Alden
Haunted by his past in Britain's military machine, one man finds himself spiralling into a secret war of his own making. By day, he blends into the ordinary streets of Nottingham. By night, he walks with his dogs through alleys, parks, and canals - hunting.
Guided at first by Jo, his phycologist and dominatrix who becomes his lover, his compass, and his controller, his missions blur the line between discipline and madness. What begins as "city cleansing" - a twisted idea of order and justice - soon descends into paranoia, betrayal, and violence that spirals out of control.
As allies become enemies and lovers become ghosts, the Marine within him battles the man he is becoming. SitReps in his mind mark the slow erosion of reason, each encounter pushing him closer to an inevitable end.
But who was truly in command - himself, Jo, or the unseen client pulling strings behind the scenes? And when the final operation comes, will he be the hunter, the hunted, or simply another casualty of a war no one else believes exists?
Mission: City Cleansing is a raw, unsettling journey through obsession, violence, and the fragile line between control and collapse.
