The Callaghan Septology: Part IVIII

The first four of seven books begin with Matthias Callaghan waking up from a coma only to learn that, by mistake, his identity has been stolen from him. When Callaghan learns he truth behind his fate, he sets out to exact revenge on the five people who have betrayed him: the leader of the Russian Mafia in London, a lawyer that that he has confided in, his wife with a secret past, his business partner and his high-living father.

Despite his machinations achieving revenge, Callaghan promptly finds himself cornered by the police and gangsters regarding his true identity and the other two he has found convenient to adopt. When confronted by Scotland Yard, he sees no other option than to leave his comfortable life in London. Together with his girlfriend Samantha, who is uninformed of his predicaments, he leaves the UK for Australia. On their journey, they are followed by an assassin who, under the direction of his boss Jeremiah Flint, has been instructed to kill Callaghan.

Callaghan manages to escape by killing the assassin using a cactus, something that in turn now makes the FBI, the Metropolitan police, a London gangster, the Russian Mafia and a Mexican drug cartel look for him. Through all sorts of hair-raising adventures driving through Mexico, he and his girlfriend eventually manage to reach Australia.

Six months later he finds out that he's wrong about no longer being persecuted. Once again on the run, he and Samantha escapes to Bali where they try to come to grips with Callaghan's quandary. The pair settles on a daring plan to remove all threats to Callaghan's existence and allow him to recover his true identity.
