About this listen

The first book in a brand-new thriller series by the Queen of Crime Drama, Lynda La Plante. A burnt-out cottage, a fortune buried in the ashes - and a body that could solve a decades-old crime....

Jack Warr is a young DC with the Metropolitan Police. Charming but aimless, Jack can't seem to find his place in the world - until he's drawn into an investigation that turns his life upside down.

In the aftermath of a fire at a derelict cottage, a badly charred body is discovered, along with the burnt remnants of millions of stolen, untraceable bank notes - the hidden legacy of Dolly Rawlins and her gang of Widows.

Jack's assignment to the case coincides with an investigation into his own past. As he searches for the truth about his identity, Jack finds himself increasingly drawn into a murky underworld of corruption and crime. Those millions have not been forgotten - and Jack will stop at nothing to find the truth.

An exciting and action packed new thriller, with roots in La Plante's best-selling novels, Widows, Widows' Revenge and She's Out.

One of my all time favourite authors.
Her books are thrilling and gripping, and she has a way of keeping you hooked without needless gore/ smut/ bad language.
My favourite books by Lynda are -
Cold Shoulder/ Cold Blood/ Cold Heart.
I read these in the 1990s and they have stayed with me all this time. Looking forward to listening to them now.
Also, greatly anticipating the next novel in this series. Jack is another one of her immensely likeable characters. Lynda - You Rock 🤘🏼

Listened to all the widows series this has been enthralling. A very clever twist to the story. I look forward to more stories. Does not rely on gory details to keep you listening. A clever way to keep the “Widows” story ongoing.

Best yet
