About this listen

She was taken against her will.

On her fifteenth birthday, trafficking victim Affi Smith goes for a run and never returns. With a new identity and secure home in the Scottish Highlands, she was supposed to be safe…

She escaped once.

With personal ties to Affi’s case, DS Max Craigie joins the investigation. When he discovers other trafficking victims have disappeared in exactly the same circumstances, he knows one thing for certain – there’s a leak somewhere within law enforcement.

She won’t outrun them again.

The clock is ticking… Max must catch Affi’s kidnappers and expose the mole before anyone else goes missing. Even if it means turning suspicions onto his own team…

I have read most if not all of the authors books. Very enjoyable. This was an excellent tale with many points of interest, humour balancing out the worst of mankind. Excellent narration.

This book was absolutely brilliant, as I knew it would be of course. Neil Lancaster is a brilliant writer and this story just shows how great he is.

The story was brilliantly written and had me gripped from the very start. And let’s not forget about the amazing narration from Angus King!! Oh my goodness he is the best in the business!!

He and Lancaster are a great team. I’d highly recommend this book to everyone. Its a great instalment to the DS Craigie series.

Brilliant!
