About this listen

A Warhammer Crime novel.

An investigation into a missing member of a wealthy family leads Probator Agusto Zidarov into a web of lies and danger amidst the criminal cartels of Varangantua. As the net closes in, Zidarov falls further into darkness from which he may never return....

Listen to it because: take a step into the murky underworld of the 41st Millennium through the eyes of a lawman in a gargantuan city whose investigation leads him into darkness and danger.

The story: in the immense city of Varangantua, life is cheap, but mistakes are expensive. When Probator Agusto Zidarov of the city’s enforcers is charged with locating the missing scion of a wealthy family, he knows full well that the chances of finding him alive are slight. The people demanding answers, though, are powerful and ruthless, and he is soon immersed in a world of criminal cartels and corporate warfare where even an enforcer’s survival is far from guaranteed. As he follows the evidence deeper into the city’s dark underbelly, he discovers secrets that have been kept hidden by powerful hands. As the net closes in on both him and his quarry, he is forced to confront just what measures some people are willing to take in order to stay alive....

Written by Chris Wraight. Narrated by Charles Armstrong.

Amazing debut for the WH Crime franchise. A refreshing look at the 40k universe, thoroughly recommend! Chris Wraight is fast becoming one of Black Library's best writers.

Outstanding

An enjoyable and well-narrated novel with a couple of twists and turns throughout to keep the listener engaged. Much more engaging than your usual 40k Bolter porn, which while entertaining in its own right can get a little repetitive.

Here we have a story of a man, whilst fully cognisant of the fact that he is merely a cog in the grand machine of humanity, does his utmost to compete his mission whilst balancing his own internal affairs in order. Saddened to find out there’s only one novel out so far, but hoping Chris Wraight will make this a series.

Fully recommend, enjoy the listen all!

Gritty Detective novel in a 40k city

This story starts off a bit slow as it introduces you to the main character, it doesn't sound like your typical 40k book, there are no Marines, no Xenos, no battles which is exactly what I was looking for.
The backdrop is a typical imperial civilian world and adds a great insite into how most people live in the 40k universe. As the story unfolded I found myself wanting to know more and for the mystery to be solved.
I'm glad I listened to it and I would listen to a sequel.

A fantastic look at civilian life in 40k.

Pretty basic story about a copper being hard boiled and cool but still sort of a family man at heart.

It’s not a book that will leave you any better of for having read it but it’s a nice way to kill some time.
Great performance by the narrator.

A light read

Nice to have a story from a viewpoint of the lower down members of society.
Entertaining and gritty. I listen while working and ploughed through this in just two days even on my second run through.

Refreshing
