About this listen

Special low price for a limited period to discover Paul Finch’s debut crime novel.

Time’s up. You’re Next.

"All he had to do was name the woman he wanted. It was that easy. They would do all the hard work."

Detective Sergeant Mark 'Heck' Heckenburg is investigating the disappearance of 38 different women. Each one was happy and successful until they vanished without a trace.

Desperate to find her missing sister, Lauren Wraxford seeks out Heck’s help. Together they enter a seedy underworld of gangsters and organised crime.

But when they hear rumours about the so-called 'Nice Guys Club' they hit a brick wall. They're the gang that no one will talk about. Because the Nice Guys can arrange anything you want. Provided you pay the price…

Dark, terrifying and unforgettable. Stalkers will keep fans of Stuart MacBride and Katia Lief looking over their shoulder.

Critic reviews

“Edge-of-the-seat reading…Heck is formidable – a British Alex Cross.” THE SUN

“Wonderfully dark and peppered with grim humour. Finch is a born storyteller and writes with the authentic voice of the ex-copper he is.” PETER JAMES

"An ingenious and original plot. Compulsive reading.” RACHEL ABBOTT

“A deliciously twisted and fiendish set of murders and a great pairing of detectives.” STAV SHEREZ

“Avon’s big star…part edge-of-the-seat, part hide-behind-the-sofa! An excellent series.” THE BOOKSELLER

“An explosive thriller that will leave you completely hooked on Heck.” WE LOVE THIS BOOK

Brilliant, 1st ever audio book, can't wait to start the next one. highly recommend Paul Finch and the D.S Heckenburg thrillers. very well narrated by Paul Thornley, couple of dodgy regional accents in parts but overall that can be forgiven. Great listen!!

Great listen!!!

I chose this book because I like Paul Thornley's narration. He seems to choose the "easy listening" kind of books that are good for commuting. Another reviewer mentioned that the narration was monotonous but I disagree. The story was somewhat farfetched but still intriguing enough to listen to the end. I did, however, get the feeling that the publishers possibly put pressure on authors to populate these kind of thrillers with good looking characters who are inevitably attracted to each other even though this adds nothing to the narrative. Or perhaps the author thinks it would be easier to sell the book? Either way, I wish they would stop and just stick to telling a good story.

Decent enough story but could do with editing

A bit gory at times but well written and brilliant narration. Looking forward to book two.

If you could sum up Stalkers in three words, what would they be?

gripping and twisting storyline

What other book might you compare Stalkers to, and why?

Some of Stephen Leathers Dan Shepherd series

Which character – as performed by Paul Thornley – was your favourite?

All of them... Paul is superb to listen to...

Any additional comments?

I had never heard of Paul Finch (sorry) and only picked this book for the reader (Paul Thornley). But wow! was I hooked right from the beginning. It has some surprising twists and turns, and I loved Heck, who was ruthless, but caring.... funny but serious.... altogether a very complex character, which all adds to the suspense. Well worth downloading, but dont start listening if you have only limited time.... you wont be able to switch it off!

A Cliffhanger to the end...

The first Paul Finch book I have listened to it will certainly not be the last. Great characters great plot listened in record time because I could not put it down

Paul Thornley shows yet again that in this genre he is the benchmark by which all other narrator's are judged.

I am tempted to start my next Paul Finch right away but stuff this good should be kept and brought out for a special occasion.

Top Notch Crime Thriller

This is a fairly average story made by some excellent narration. There are quite a few characters with various regional UK accents and the narrator Paul Thornley does a brilliant job of switching from Manc to Leeds to Brum to Cockney.

The story is one of a maverick cop on the hunt on a crazed gang of killers who has he tracks down with the help of a beautiful but troubled sidekick.

Great narration
