About this listen
When you buy murder online, who is there to stop you?
GCHQ agent Winter has just 14 days to bring down the website of a formidable criminal organisation before a teenager is tortured to death in front of an online audience of millions. Going deep under cover disguised as the paid assassin Snow White, Winter must infiltrate the inner circle of the extraordinarily powerful man at the heart of the dark web. This is a gripping, fast-paced ride through a disturbingly plausible technological future in which Callister’s protagonist must battle to bring down the terrifying crimes tearing through society.
About Winter
Master hacker, highly intelligent, combat trained: Winter is a very modern spy. Worlds apart from the straitlaced characters created in the minds of Ian Fleming and John le Carré , Alex Callister's lead protagonist wouldn't dream of playing the part of the impeccable agent. However, despite her intimidating skillset, Winter is delightfully human and often prone to prioritizing her libido over her employer. Undeniably sexy and exceptionally accomplished, Winter is a true 21st-century heroine.
About the Author
Alex Callister is the pseudonym of an industry expert on media, telecoms and internet stocks. She studied history at Oxford and the British School at Rome and was set for a career in academia until the beginning of the tech boom woke a lifelong interest in internet shares. Alex has spent her career visiting high security web hosting sites and speculating on what might go wrong. Winter Dark is her debut novel and the first in the Winter series.

Utterly un-put-downable this is a must purchase new release. Great to see Audible releasing such a compelling Original.
Can't wait for the film - or better still the sequel. Ell Potter's narration was bang on the mark bringing all the characters believably to life.
Go Winter!

Really exciting story

This is a vision of a dystopian near future where the darker side of the web predominates. But it is also a thriller with a love story - albeit not your average love story! The romance side is accentuated by the fairy tale elements which I did not expect - Snow White obviously, but also Bluebeard in his castle, the mirror, mirror elements, and hints of beauty and the beast - all with a dark twist.
All in all a gripping piece of story-telling.
An illicit romance at the heart of a dark thriller
