Screw the Nut

A novel by Adam Knights

Some men leave the battlefield. Others never do.

Screw the Nut is a dark, fast-moving thriller rooted in lived experience. It explores loyalty, pressure, and the moral fallout that follows when systems fail the people who served them.


Overview

Set against the backdrop of Northern Ireland, the novel follows a group of former Parachute Regiment soldiers drawn back into conflict after a covert operation goes badly wrong.

What begins as an attempt to put things right quickly spirals into betrayal, manhunts, and consequences no one can control.
