‘Only once in his life had Sean met a man whose strength matched his own and now again they were pitted against each other. He drove the heel of his right hand up under Jan Paulus’s chin, forcing his head back against the encircling left arm. It should have broken his neck. Instead he locked his arms around Sean’s chest below the level of his armpits and squeezed. Within seconds Sean felt his face swelling and congesting with blood, his mouth opened and his tongue came out between his teeth.’
