About this listen

Ted Bell's New York Times bestselling series returns with Lord Alexander Hawke facing his greatest challenge yet—to find the missing king of Britain.

Following a successful but costly mission to destroy an enemy outpost in Antarctica, Alex Hawke is looking forward to some quiet time at Teakettle Cottage, his home in Bermuda, along with his family. But he's not a man who can avoid trouble.

Former Chief Inspector of Scotland Yard Ambrose Congreve calls him with stunning news. Just days away from a controversial vote threatening to tear the United Kingdom apart at the seams, King Charles has disappeared while vacationing at Balmoral Castle. The prime minister believes she can keep the news quiet for no more than 72 hours. After that, Britain will be plunged into chaos.

With the fate of the kingdom hanging in the balance, it's up to Lord Hawke to find and rescue the missing monarch before it's too late.©2025 Ryan Steck (P)2025 Penguin Audio

Critic reviews

Monarch is that rarity in thrillers: first class writing, wit, and suspense. This is one of the best Alex Hawke thrillers and I’ve read all of them."–James Patterson, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“Packed with twisting surprises and a double dose of action, Ted Bell’s Monarch marks the return of Lord Alexander Hawke, one of the thriller genre’s most captivating and electric heroes, as he races to not only stop a fiendish plot to attack London but also find the missing king before the UK is torn apart. Hawke has never flown higher!”—Nelson DeMille, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Blood Lines

"The smashing return of Alex Hawke in a pulse-pounding thriller of the first order. Relentless action, endless intrigue, and a masterful plot keep the pages flying."—Dirk Cussler, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Corsican Shadow
