Summary
Introducing a new multicast drama by L. J. Ross, the author of the international number one best-selling series, the DCI Ryan mysteries.
There's a serial killer targeting the streets of Newcastle, seemingly picking his victims at random but subjecting them all to the same torturous end. When the Chief Inspector on the case goes missing, it falls on DCI Ryan to track down the man who is brutally murdering women and goading the police to 'catch me if you can'.
As everyone becomes a suspect, Ryan and his team get drawn further and further into the case, but for Ryan the nightmare gets closer to home than he could ever have imagined.
This Audible Original drama stars Tom Bateman (Murder on the Orient Express, Jekyll & Hyde, Snatched), Bertie Carvel (Doctor Foster, Les Misérables), Hermione Norris (Spooks, Cold Feet) and Kevin Whately (Lewis, Auf Wiedersehen, Pet) and is a prequel to the DCI Ryan series.
Starring: Alun Armstrong, Rachel Atkins, Tom Bateman, Mark Bazeley, Anna Bolton, Bertie Carvel, Stephen Critchlow, Vicki Davids, Reece Dinsdale, Harriet Ghost, Frances Jeater, Jack Lloyd, Dean Logan, Daniel Matthew Lemon, Roger May, Hermione Norris, Kate Okello, Colleen Prendergast, Shaun Prendergast, Nicholas Rowe, David Seddon, Marlene Sidaway, Tom Slatter, Fiona Victory, Lauren Waine, Kevin Whately and Hannah Wood
Audible member reviews
“I was going to listen to a bit whilst I swept and cleaned the floors and then I had work to do that just couldn't wait any more. I am now the proud owner of the cleanest floor in the UK, and possibly the world! I just couldn't stop, it's a totally gripping and absorbing dramatisation. It was fascinating listening, especially as a long standing fan of LJ Ross' DCI Ryan series, and the idea of giving listeners the back story to how the team came together is inspired. A standing ovation for The Infirmary.” – Melanie, Audible member
“If, like me, you are a DCI Ryan fan then you will already know what this story is about. If you haven't yet met DCI Ryan and his crew then you are in for a treat as this starts the series off in the most chilling of ways. I could feel the goose bumps rising, my skin crawling as you got that absolute detachment, especially from Bertie Carvel as he divulged the killer's thoughts to the listener. With all the thrills and spills of your favourite DCI Ryan novels, brought to life by a stellar cast, this book will hook you from the action filled opening, through the story's dark and chilling heart, to its sad but inevitable conclusion.” – Jen, Audible member
“If you haven't read any DCI Ryan before, you are in for such a treat, and if you have, you are going to LOVE how this brings those much-loved characters completely to life. This Audible Original takes us back to the beginning, and we come to understand how and why Ryan ended up on Holy Island in Book One. With the cast of wonderful characters: Frank, Denise, Jack and the return of Arthur Griegson (superbly played by Alun Armstrong - one of my favourite actors), Ryan is hunting down The Hacker - the killer that has haunted him throughout the series so far. Bertie Carvel stood out for me: a fantastic, spine-chilling performance as the serial killer that has turned Newcastle into a ghost town. Oh, my skin crawled! So many great performances, and I was thrilled to hear genuine North East actors and accents which, along with the music and sound effects, brought authenticity to the whole story. Wonderful stuff.” – Nicky, Audible member

better than I thought it would be
At first I really resented a play rather than a straight narration. But I got used to it and admit it was well done. However, I'd still rather listen to one, at most two, narrators perform an unabridged version of a good, well written thriller - and be able to combine it with my own imagination.

Great listen
I have never listen to an audio drama before so was a litlle weary about it, but I have to say this was a great listen and really Brought the whole thing alive, a great plot and some interesting twist which also fills in some gaps in DCI Ryan story, highly recommend

Absolutely superb
I have read the DCI Ryan novels, so I knew what the ending of this would be, but I was still blown away by this. I’ve never listened to a fully dramatised audiobook before and I loved it. The story was gripping (as usual!) All the performances were excellent, with proper Geordie accents from Geordie actors (as opposed to the dodgy ones in the audiobooks of the novels). The most excellent thing I’ve listened to in a long time. Well done all.

Amazing...
A good prequel to the DCI Ryan series and an amazing production. Almost as good as watching drama on TV.

drama vsus narration
Overall I prefer a straight forward narration. Background music was offputting although dramaticalisation very good.

Really enjoyed this drama
However as a massive LJ Ross fan that’s listened to all of the DCI Ryan books and was so disappointed by some of the characters voices in this drama. Menzies is portrayed in the books as as a stunning 40 something red head in the books but in the drama she sounded like a pensioner with a hundred a day fag habit! so disappointing. Ryan’s voice wasn’t right either totally spoilt my illusion of him. Excellent listen but the voices should have been thought out better’
