About this listen

You can run. You can hide. But you can't escape…

Jonathan Hale is terrified. The wealthy property lawyer and money launderer is back home in Surrey after a nightmare experience in a U.S. jail. The police have him under secret surveillance.

But Hales's fears lie elsewhere. His plea bargain has earned him the enmity of The Reptile, a notoriously cold-hearted gangster, now confined for life in a maximum-security jail in Arizona thanks to Hale. He's taken precautions, moved house, hidden his identity and installed security for his wife and family. But still… what if The Reptile escapes?

For DCI Gillard it should be just another week at work. But before long he is involved in a desperate manhunt that will test him to his very limits.

Be prepared.

Strap yourself in for an intense and unforgettable crime thriller that won't let go, perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Cara Hunter and Mark Billingham.

This is one of my favourites in the series so far & a relief as I'd not loved the previous two. The story gripped me from the start and kept my attention until the end. Yes a bit far fetched but not to the point it impacted the story negatively.

No matter how long this series goes on, the narrator doesn't improve his accents. The way they sound just doesn't work with the characters' descriptions & so Sam, for example, I'm always hoping will be killed off, as the voice he's given her is so wet and annoying! I've given 3 stars for performance as the storytelling in between is good.

Overall an enjoyable listen.

Having favoured this series of books., I really didn’t like the last one, I thought it was a ridiculous storyline and I nearly didn’t continue. I’m so glad I did as I was gripped to this story. He’s definitely back on form with this one, it’s one of his best!

Back on form.
