About this listen

The critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling Declan Walsh series continues...

Waiting for a taxi can be murder.

Someone is killing London "black cab" taxi drivers.

Seemingly unconnected, but all with the same MO, bodies are being found across the City of London, and only two clues connect them; an unknown killer with a crooked walking cane, and the title to a folk song placed on rolled paper inside their mouths.

Now, DCI Walsh and his team, still reeling after the end of Harvest For The Reaper must hunt down the killer, falling into a world of taxi apps, cab driver tribalism, a map of death related to "The Knowledge," and a cold crime from decades earlier, while fighting the potential closure of their unit...

Is this the last case for the Last Chance Saloon—no matter what happens?

The nineteenth audiobook in the critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling series of procedural crime thrillers featuring DCI Declan Walsh and the team of the Last Chance Saloon, Crooked Was His Cane is perfect for fans of J.D Kirk, L.J Ross, Ian Rankin, Alex Smith, Rachel McLean, J M Dalgliesh and Ann Cleeves, among others.

Yet another great read full of twists and turns. I love the way the Last Chance Saloon team always seem to unwittingly get dragged into the underhand goings on of Charles Baker and his parliamentary cohorts. This story has many twists and turns so you will need to listen carefully. Once again Robin Laine's narration brings Declan Walsh and his colleagues to life like only he can. Well worth a listen in my opinion but to get the best from this tale you really do need to have listened from the start of the series to get the full benefit of all the nuances and references. Just need the next in the series now 😁
