Angel in the Shadows
Jay Jordan’s book offers another way to explore the experiences behind his work. It is discussed in his Silvercore and Nigel Beckles interviews.
Published by Steel City Press, Angel in the Shadows is Jay Jordan’s account of his introduction to international child recovery. The book is available through the publisher and Amazon.co.uk, where readers can also find customer reviews.
What readers say about the book
Selected excerpts from Amazon reader reviews of Angel in the Shadows. These describe the book, rather than a Pegasus Ops service engagement.
“Fantastic book, I couldn’t put it down.”
“Excellent book, and an interesting insight into a hidden world.”
“Real, honest, exciting, actually warm and human.”
Understand the person behind the advice
Media appearances give context. A protective assignment begins with your own circumstances: the concern, the people affected and the decision that needs to be made.
