About this listen

Hell has unleashed a demon - and he's coming for you....

Detective Chief Inspector Ryan's worst nightmare has just become a reality. Notorious serial killer The Hacker has escaped prison and kidnapped one of his best detectives from her own home. His brutality is the stuff of legend - Ryan lost his sister and nearly his own life bringing the man to justice first time around. Can Ryan do it again to save his friend?

There's a nationwide manhunt underway but the trail has gone cold and fear spreads like a virus. Ryan and his team must find The Hacker before he takes another life - but are they too late?

The clock is ticking....

Murder and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunit set amidst the spectacular Northumbrian landscape.

Critic reviews

"A literary phenomenon." ( Evening Chronicle)
All stars

I liked the continuity of the characters we're familiar with and Mr Keeble's outstanding narration. And apt conclusion to the Hacker tale.

Note to the author, Invictus means unconquered and Maneo I remain. Not the other way around.

Good continuity

I’ve already bought the rest of the series available. I can’t get enough of DCI Ryan the stories are believable and absolutely worth a listen. As for the narration Johnathan Keeble is first class.
