Summary

The first woman had her lungs ripped out. When the same gruesome ritualistic method was used again, it was clear that the same killer was responsible. But there is no precise evidence to link the two cases, except for a tantalising email.

Kriminalhauptkommissar Jan Fabel (half-Scottish, half-German) is a man of conscience and imagination. In his desperate attempt to solve the case before more victims are discovered, he gradually uncovers layer upon layer of intrigue. How can he track a murderer who leaves no trail, whose victims seem purposefully random and whose motive reaches far beyond greed and lust, into the darkest recesses of the human soul?

As good as Lennox but Different

What did you like best about this story?

I though the development of the characters worked well, there is a good plot with lots of twists and turns. Created a very good feel of Hamburg

What does Sean Barrett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

His interpretation is always great

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Hamberg Police vs Ex Communist KGB Vikings

Really enjoyable

I’ve started listening to a number of novels read by Sean Barrett and this has been a really pleasant surprise. I’ll be listening to more Craig Russell novels in this series.

Very Good!

Never having read/listened to anything before by Craig Russell, I decided to give this a go because of Sean Barrett, the narrator! He narrates so well, and I could listen to his voice for hours!! I'm happy to say I was not disappointed. Excellent writing, narration, storyline, and characters. Need J say more?!. I'm now going to listen to the next in the series, without any reservation.
