About this listen

Reporter William Carver comes up against Big Tech's manipulation and suppression of truth from the mines of Chile to the turbulent streets of Hong Kong.

Knowledge is power. And they know everything.

The tech company Public Square believes in 'doing well by doing good'. It's built a multi-billion-dollar business on this philosophy and by getting to know what people want. They know a lot. But who else can access all that information, and what are they planning to do with it?

Reporter William Carver is an analogue man in a digital world. He isn't the most tech-savvy reporter, he's definitely old school, but he needs to learn fast - the people he cares most about are in harm's way.

From the Chilean mines where they dig for raw materials that enable the tech revolution, to the streets of Hong Kong where anti-government protesters are fighting against the Chinese State, to the shiny research laboratories of Silicon Valley where personal data is being mined everyday - A Cursed Place is a gripping thriller set against the global forces that shape our times.

After another excellent storyline, we are left hanging, wanting more ( which is probably no bad thing, especially if there were to be another book). As usual, it is read expertly by Jonathan Keeble, whom I hope will keep recording for Peter Hanington. We hope that it will not be too long before the story continues.

…..and the rest??????

Beautifully read, tense, meaty plot. Like the previous books by Peter Hanington, this was a well crafted and gripping story. Highly recommended.

Scarily plausible, a great story

I really enjoyed the storyline of this book. The way the the stories from the different locations came together into one was excellent; the dateline for each chapter at the start was really helpful. I also loved the narrator Jonathan Keeble. Each character voice was distinct enough that you knew each one as soon as you head it.

Best William Carver book so far
