Summary

FROM THE #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF HOLY ISLAND AND IMPOSTOR

THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS A COINCIDENCE...

When the body of a talented photographer is found on the rocks beneath the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle, DCI Ryan and his team of detectives immediately suspect the worst. But, since none of their potential suspects seems to have a motive, the case runs cold.

Then, when another body is found dead on a lonely stretch of road near Hadrian’s Wall and their only suspect has an airtight alibi, the team are faced with another crime without a perpetrator.

With the number of unexplained deaths in the area increasing rapidly and only a series of coincidences to work from, Ryan and his team must find the invisible link between them to crack the case—before it’s too late.

Can Ryan solve his most dangerous case yet?

Murder and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunnit, set amidst the spectacular Northumbrian landscape.

What’s happened to Gregsons voice??

I’ve loved listening too all the DCI Ryan saga books, but what the heck happened too Gregsons voice in this one…. It’s a real shame when it’s the same voice artist that no research has been done to match the character

Really intense one!

This was a real nai bitter, and left us with a bit of a cliffhanger. It brought together some unsavoury characters from the past and made me bite my nails waiting to find out if we loose any of our beloved characters.

Awesome

I love this series. L J Ross is a master crime writer and Jonathan Keeble’s narration is second to none. This book was exciting and fascinating from beginning to end. And what an ending!

The usual exciting g quality of story we have come to know.

Although this story was a bit short, a novella length it was very engaging. The usual complexities aren’t there, not enough time to develop it and answer some of the questions. Felt like hearing an abridgement. That said the Richard Keebler narration was as always exactly right. The familiar character were welcome back in my house, I miss them between books. The story developed in the tried and tested LJ Ross way, always a good listen
