The USSR collapsed. I threw myself into its chaos for the sake of adventure and survived a nightmare beyond my imagination. This was a story I could not tell, but keeping it secret paralysed me. For 19 years the events of one long summer haunted my waking hours, while the horror nagged at my subconscious. Slowly, I came round to the idea that writing it down might be the only way out...
Jagged Red Line is set in the former Soviet Union in 1993. A British student with a passion for mountaineering meets like-minded locals. They plan an expedition, not caring that the infrastructure is broken and there are rumours of war - the steep north faces of the Caucasus are calling. The trip is everything it was promised to be until someone makes a mistake at the worst possible point. Suddenly, life will never be the same again.
