About this listen

The second dark and twisted thriller in the Avison Fluke series by M. W. Craven, the acclaimed author of The Puppet Show.

Investigating how a severed hand ends up on the third green of a Cumbrian golf course is not how Detective Inspector Avison Fluke has planned to spend his Saturday. So when a secret protection unit from London swoops in quoting national security, he's secretly pleased.

But trouble is never far away. A young woman arrives at his lakeside cabin with a cryptic message: a code known to only a handful of people and it forces Fluke back into the investigation he's only just been barred from.

In a case that will change his life forever, Fluke immerses himself in a world of New Age travellers, corrupt cops and domestic extremists. Before long he's alienated his entire team, has been arrested under the Terrorism Act - and has made a pact with the Devil himself. But a voice has called out to him from beyond the grave. And Fluke is only getting started...

Great characterisation and a plot that pulls you in. The narrator is extremely engaging and conveys the emotions if the characters effortlessly.

Excellent, fantastic and well worth listening to.

After “Born in a burial gown” I was really looking forward to this book. And while I did enjoy it it it did seem as though it was going down the same route as most with the maverick police officer. Some of their actions were ridiculous and his girlfriend! Talk about high maintenance. All in all, entertaining new series.

Interesting

I am really enjoying this writer's books. I like his characters and the plots are good. What more can I say? I've read the two books just released in two days, they are certainly worth the cost of a credit!

Ah well! I'm now hoping for another in his other series, Washington Poe!

Excellent

another brilliant story

So many twists and turns in this story. Possibly unbelievable but many stories are and are still highly entertaining. Good narration.

A ‘page’ turner.
