STIRLING, Scotland - s4story -- Set in the near future, Ragged Island follows one man's desperate struggle for survival in a changed world. Against a backdrop of global corruption, betrayal, and unrelenting danger, Quinn Tarrant flees civil war in the USA—only to find himself navigating a ruthless underworld far from home. Blending pulse-pounding suspense with richly drawn characters and a breakneck plot, Edmunds delivers a cinematic reading experience that fans of Lee Child, Stieg Larsson, and Don Winslow will devour.

"Inspired by recent global events, I imagined a re-ordering of the global hierarchy," said Edmunds. "Ragged Island is not just a thriller—it's about what happens when civilization cracks, and it follows one man's struggle to survive in a different world order."
