About this listen

"He said if he hadn't heard from you by high noon today, he was going to strap on his six-guns and ride back into town. So I think you should call him, Charlie. Call him before you come home."

Charlie Hills, former desk sergeant at Kings Lake Central, is in trouble. He hasn't told Smith, his old friend and sparring partner, but someone has, and now the two former policemen are about to embark on a difficult and potentially dangerous search for the truth. For one of them, it could be life-changing.

I have found this series to be one of the better examples of Crime genre novels that I have ever followed.
The main character, Dc Smith, is so multi layered and does not give up his secrets lightly.
A thoroughly enjoyable audible production, beautifully narrated by Gildart Jackson.

Entertaining and Thought Provoking

Same characters but from a very different perspective. Good story with tense chapters which held you all the way through.

I love this series, I like the main characters and their interactions with one another. The stories start off seemingly straightforward and as the plot moves on they get more convoluted but in a very plausible way. The narrator is never less than excellent. I’m sad I’ve only got one more in the series to go. Highly recommended

Exceptional narration of an excellent title. I did guess the outcome though, but it didn't spoil it for me. Anxious now to move onto the next in the series. Highly recommended!

Brilliant to the end.

Excellent story

I am a devoted fan of Gildart Jackson, and have thoroughly enjoyed the first 8 of Peter Grainger’s DC series.

However this book has been more of a Smith monologue and I really missed the banter from the previous books with Smith and his team.

I will listen to the last book in the series to complete it, but I do hope there are a few more characters in it. Mr Jackson’s brilliant narration and “doing voices” deserves more!

Change in Direction for DC
