Story
Baggit is a fast-talking ratling sniper with a greedy eye and loose morals. Clodde is an ogryn, a brute with a core of decency and a desire for a better life. Two abhuman deserters turned thieves, at large in the monolithic city of Varangantua, where only the tough or the ruthless survive. Having landed in debt to a savage crime lord, Baggit and Clodde end up in the crosshairs of the meanest, most puritanical sanctioner in the city.

Before the being called the Emperor revealed himself, before the rise of the aeldari, before the necrontyr traded their flesh for immortal metal, the world was born in violence. Even when they inhabited bodies of flesh, Trazyn the Infinite and Orikan the Diviner were polar opposites. Trazyn, a collector of historical oddities, presides over a gallery full of the most dangerous artefacts - and people - of the galactic past. Orikan, a chronomancer without peer, draws zodiacs that predict and manipulate the future.

Summary
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....

One of the best 40K books!
This is such a refreshing perspective, and I really hope Chris Wraight comes back to it again soon! Yeah, like others have mentioned it comes across as more Cyberpunk/40K lite than most books in the setting. At least, ostensibly. All the 40K Grimdark is still there, it just isn't rammed down your throat by a power fist! It's all there, but on a range of varying subtly (sometimes you'll miss it if you blink!)
I would love for BL to have this type of perspective as niche they really commit to!

It's 40k but with a real twist.
A very grass roots look at the 40k universe from the perspective of some amongst the vast downtrodden masses. It's gritty, grim, and has a feel of the old noir pulp novels to it. If you're a fan of the Enforcers in Necromunda this is probably the book for you. If I have one almost-gripe it's that I feel Chris Wraight missed a trick in not having everything after the first chapter written in the first person perspective, although that may be almost stepping to close to Raymond Chandler's literary toes. There are no superhuman warriors blazing away with full-auto rocket launchers in this tale, and in this case that's for the better.

A different kind of Warhammer story
I liked the difference between this and a lot of other 40k stories I've listed to.
It's not more of the same with this but dares to step outside of the standard tropes of the 40k universe. Definitely worth a blast!

Fair
Hmm. Decent, not terrible but not brilliant. Overall I really like the idea of warhammer 40K “crime”, like the idea of learning more of the misery of the average imperial citizen. Like the fact there are (small spoiler) no space marines etc etc in this at all. But while this is fine and I don’t regret buying and listening to it... it’s not the best 40K novel or detective novel.
The concepts were good, there were some nice twists but it never quite gelled for me. It leans on some classic detective noir ideas but they just don’t quite connect and feel a bit bolted on. However, it has a really strong last couple of chapters (no spoilers) and leaves a few clever trails hanging for a sequel.

Wonderful start to Warhammer Crime, but....
I very much so enjoyed a look into the life of not only one of the Arbitrators of a Hive world, but more so a look at the life of an Imperial citizen.
However, the one issue I had with the book was not from the actual story or even the narrator, but rather Games Workshop's horrific editing, or rather lack there of. 3-4 distinct times the bloopers/first readings of a line were left in. This happened in the 3rd installment of Ciaphis Cain, and now here. It is rather unexcusable from a publisher like The Black Library, especially with a catalog as vast as theirs.
Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoy this story, and would be quite pleased even for a follow up that features some of the same characters.

You don't need to know much about Warhammer 40k to enjoy this book. If you're a 40k fan, then some of the things that are happening in the background will give you a reference for when this takes place and what the galaxy is going through, but it's not required. It's a well written crime drama/mystery with a down to earth (so to speak) protagonist. The narrator does a great job, not much more to say, but given warhammer's usual narrators, he had a high standard to live up to. I had occasion to listen to this in one long session and did not once feel the urge to stop and listen to something else. I could easily see myself going "just one more chapter" with a hard copy version until what do you know, I finished it and it's 3am.

Boring & in name only is it related to 40k
As a police procedural, it to fails so very badly. No action, no intrigue, nothing to hook ya.
The *hero* is a schlub who's aging, overweight & nothing special at his job. Not even an overly likeable nor relatable hero. Just a basic, no frills character.
What little action there is is far between & ho-hum, at best.
It's got very lil to do with Warhammer/40k. If it didn't say *Warhammer* on it you might never know!
Abnetts Eisenhorn & Ravenor & even some of his Gaunts Ghost investigations, mysteries are 40k times better.
Don't waste your time or money.

Absolutely inspired!
The word dystopian is often over used in this genre. However, Chris Wraight’s treatment of the subject matter is entirely relatable and therefore entirely dark and gritty In a way that hits home. Dr. Wraight has recently become one of my favorite Black Library authors. His treatment of the cosmos is always deep, provocative, and more often than not serves as an analog to the world we live in.

Blade runner meets 40k
A very enjoyable mix between the universe of 40k, trade dynasties with solid undertones of blade runner.
The main character is a good mix of light and dark and although the book could have been a little more edgy the theme of illegal youth harvesting was very nasty indeed

Starts out slow, but really picks up at 50% point
What is it like to be a police detective in the 40k version? Pretty damn shit!
Quit interesting to see the world from the view of the lowly citizen, instead of the high and might inqisitorial agents, underhive ganger, or though the terrors of a war.
The first few chapters it seems like any other dystopia, which had me a bit dissapointed, but at around the half way point more and more 40k ideas started inserting themselvs, and in some intriquing ways too
So i ended up really liking the while thing, and would recommend it to anyone who could be interested
P. S. Its so damn nice to see that characters talk about the Imperial Guard again instead of the ridiculous Astra Militarum which GW tried to rebrand them as
