About this listen

 It begins with a phone call. Gordon Reeve's brother has been found dead in his car in San Diego. The car was locked from the inside, a gun was in his hand. In the US to identify the body Gordon realises that his brother has been murdered. What's more, it's soon obvious that his own life is in danger.

Once back in Scotland he finds out his home has been bugged by professionals. But Reeve is a professional too. Ex-SAS, he was half of a two-man unit with someone he came to fear, then to hate. It looks like his nemesis is back...

Critic reviews

Shows Rankin to be as adept at writing thrillers as he is at putting together more meditative crime stories
No one writes more gripping stories than Rankin
Ian Rankin is a first-rate storyteller in the classic mould, but what really distinguishes his work is his gift for characterisation
Ian Rankin is perhaps the best and most complex thriller writer in Britain today
An addictive writer ... a remarkable talent
No one in Britain writes better crime novels today

Enjoyed the book felt sorry for the wife and family. The past comes back and tests the resolve . Interesting story but with some predictable parts perhaps as you become the person.

very captivating with memories coming to the fore

Full declaration. I have become a bit of an (Audible) Ian Rankin fan and have listened to most of his books over the last few years.

I really enjoyed this and think it is one of his best.

One of his best

First Ian Rankin novel and was excellent. Yes I guess the ending was a bit predictable, but a full on exciting story throughout. Narration was outstanding! Probably one of the best narrations I’ve heard so far. Aceents galore and very believably read. Certainly worth a listen

Loved it !
