About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Raven is a ruthless assassin, a hired killer, whose cold-blooded murder of the Minister for War will have violent repercussions across Europe. As the nation prepares for battle, Raven goes on the run, hunted by the police and in search of the man who paid him in stolen banknotes, eventually unearthing the terrible truth behind his deadly assignment.

Critic reviews

Graham Greene taught us to understand the social and economic cripples in our midst. He taught us to look at each other with new eyes. I don't suppose his influence will ever disappear (Auberon Waugh)
Graham Greene had wit and grace and character and story and a transcendent universal compassion that places him for all time in the ranks of world literature (John Le Carre)

A thrilling book very much of its time. With engaging characters brought to life by excellent narration.

Gripping story and brilliant characterisation by the narrator. Not sure why I had to write 15 words for this review to be accepted :)
