Summary

John Milton is a ghost. He was Number One. The most dangerous assassin in Group Fifteen, the black-ops organisation that solves problems when diplomacy has failed. Now Milton is Her Majesty's most wanted fugitive - an anonymous loner with a deadly set of skills.

So when he is arrested following a brawl in a Texas bar, the last person he expects to bail him out is a glamorous operative from the Russian Secret Service.

Milton is blackmailed into finding his predecessor as Number One. But she's a ghost, too, and just as dangerous as him. He finds himself in deep trouble, playing the Russians against the British in a desperate attempt to save the life of his oldest friend. Some ghosts are better left alone. But these two have been disturbed, and now there's going to be hell to pay.

Mark Dawson has worked as a lawyer and currently works in the London film industry. His first books, The Art of Falling Apart and Subpoena Colada have been published in multiple languages.

Best of the John Milton Books so Far

I have enjoyed all the John Milton books but this one was particularly good resting well on the back history. Great Narration as well. Listen and enjoy.

Very enjoyable

I am a fan of John Milton series books. I particularly enjoyed this one and would fully recommend it. A lovely holiday read. The narrator is superb as always.

Worrying?

I am really enjoying Mark Dawson's books and in audible form I can multitask and feel no guilt at taking in another book! Good narration, trust me I switch off if I can't cope with how a book is read!
This one has a theme which I have long thought possible and shows just how we are all unaware of what the 'powers that be' control.
Needless to say I have downloaded the next in the series.

Another John Milton classic.

Is he finally free of Control? The story continues and we will have wait and see what happens next. Many twists and turns but gripping and beautifully read as ever. Ready for the next book.

Anyone else spot the Beatrix/Isobella mix up?

Love the entire series! This is the second time around of reading/listening! It never gets old! However..... there is a little error in the book where Beatrix is referred to as Isobella.... I love finding little anomalies though, so it didn't detract from the story 😁.... you need to listen to them all!
