About this listen

Top 50 bestselling author Ross Greenwood is back with this thrilling glimpse into the criminal underworld

Vinnie has always been different. But Vinnie is a survivor…

A childhood accident robbed Vinnie of his memories, making him sensitive and anxious, and his difference soon attracted bullies. If it wasn’t for his family and his brother Frank, Vinnie wouldn’t have survived.

But as the boys grow up, and after the devastating loss of their parents, Vinnie finds himself increasingly involved in violent situations whenever he’s with Frank. Is this the type of man he’s become, or can the love of a remarkable woman teach him to embrace life?

When Vinnie is accused of a terrible crime, and looks set for a long stretch behind bars, fragments of his memory start to return and he begins to unravel his past.

Who was his mother? What kind of a man is his brother, Frank? And why does death surround them?

Things are not as they seem, but Vinnie can survive anything…

Please note: This book was previously published as Fifty Years of Fear.

Such a good book. Brilliant story and the narrator is absolutely excellent. One of my favourites.

I really enjoyed the way the story was linked by age and time. I have worked as part of a mental health team in a youth training establishment and recognise the situations described. This will help open people’s eyes and minds.

Really good listen.

You can never tell which way he is taking you in the story. Usually with an unexpected ending.

brilliant as always

I thought it was slow in the beginning but a brilliant end and insight

interesting

Ross Greenwood’s characters are obviously defined a little from his previous employment as a prison officer and life. They are complex and believable, Well worth a read or a listen

Characters and clever writing

The telling of the story in the first person enables the listener to be drawn in. With subtle changes affecting the protagonist we learn his history, often finding a paradox in the behaviour of the (anti???)hero. The plot is so very well thought out; each twist and turn takes one to places in our own psyche which are familiar, but also at the same time an anathema. Very clever, but the whole construct is a book that is unmissable. This is by far, the best of any novel he has written already. The book is simply fantastic.

Empathetic

I thought I was reading a crime fiction book (my normal genre). When the crime & detective wasn’t revealed I was confused! The narrator has an easy voice so I continued to listen. I enjoyed every bit of it. The secrets, little twists. Very thought provoking. A good book club book as it will promote discussion

Amazing

This kept my interest all the way through. There's a little humour and a lot of sadness and regrets. the narration is spot on.

I've read almost all Ross Greenwood's books now. Never disappointed. He writes with such passion, relevance, honesty and understated humour. With David Thorpe narrating, it's like listening to one of your mates stories down the pub in so much as there is always a hint of good humour in his voice

What I particularly liked in this story is how he weaved characters from his other books into it. If you've not read them it won't matter or distract from the story. However if you have, then it will add an extra layer of richness to your listening experience

Absolutely fantastic
