About this listen

Heart-stopping international spy thriller from 'an espionage master' (Charles Cumming) starring ex-MI6 officer Paul Samson, for fans of Mick Herron, Lee Child and John le Carre.

They killed Robert Harland today, and they're going to kill the rest of you.

This is the warning private investigator Paul Samson receives right after Joni Fremantle, the woman he has been guarding for a mysterious client, gives him the slip. No time to worry about that now: his life, and those of Denis Hisami, Anastasia Christakos and even the young Syrian Naji, is on the line.

Samson is sure he knows why - to expose a company supplying funds to far-right groups across Europe is to paint a target on your own back - so the question is who has ordered the hit: the Americans or the Russians? Hard to spot danger coming from two directions at once.

Meanwhile, two other things become apparent: one, it was a mistake to let Fremantle get away so easily, and two, Robert Harland, ever the consummate spy, has one final, crucial part to play from beyond the grave.

Excellent conclusion to the trilogy, very contemporary story line, can believe such a conspiracy is happing now. Well written strong character development, riveting, thrilling on the edge of your seat story. Can’t wait to read more from this author.

Brilliant book

I have read the first two books, but I thought as I was unpacking my flat I would listen to this one. God, it got me through a boring time. I don't think you need to have read the first two, but they are great so you might as well. If you like thrillers, espionage and face-paced I would say this is for you.

Really exciting and well narrated!

This book kept me gripped for hours .. it twisted and turned right to the end

A super book

I enjoyed the book but it's a book that in my mind requires concentration and a little dedication. It's not a griping page turn and it did come together well but it's an audio book that has taken a month to listen to and that is far too long.

It's Good but not Riveting.

This book was quite disappointing as I had really enjoyed Firefly. The plot seemed complex and the end of the story was quite limp and feeble.

A weak storyline

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I have wasted a credit on this rubbish reader slow and boring story even worse

Don’t buy dreadful

A rather lengthy listen, which at times was hard to follow. I struggled on to the end but……
