About this listen

A copycat killer...but how do they know so much?

A man is found electrocuted in his bath, an apparent suicide attempt. However, attached to the body is a handwritten note: All it says is "DCI Lambert".

Lambert, shaken by past and present, is put on notice when a major prisoner escapes. Is there a connection? And why are MI5 getting involved? Before the investigation is over, Lambert will be pushed to his very limits…and beyond.

How far would you go for justice? And what would you do to save your family?

The extraordinary new crime thriller from best seller Matt Brolly, perfect for fans of Robert Bryndza, L. J. Ross, and Angela Marsons.

This is such a good series, I’m really hoping there’ll be another story, but equally I understand this rounds up Lambert’s loose ends. As always, David Monteith’s narration brings the story to life. A narrator can make or break an audiobook, but Mr Monteith is one of the best.
