Story
For Nick and Lesley Albert, swapping the hectic intensity of modern Britain for the peace of a tumble-down farmhouse in rural West Ireland was like a dream come true. But three years later, with the economy crashing and the house refurbishments unfinished, their plan for a tranquil life is falling apart. Are they in danger of replicating the very lifestyle they had hoped to escape, or can they get their lives back on track? Only time will tell.

Kara Wright is a former Royal Air Force Intelligence Analyst. Her best mate, Tien Tran, is a veteran of the British Army's Intelligence Corps. Both served in Afghanistan and both were lucky to make it home. Now, based in a run-down office in Kentish Town, they try to keep their heads above water as private investigators. When two grown-up children claim their elderly parents have been kidnapped, Kara and Tien are sceptical, but they need the money, and anyway, Kara could really do with keeping her mind off the man she murdered.

Sky is convinced a woman she met in tears on the beach is in desperate danger. After all, the abuse is all spelled out in the diary she dropped when she fled. But when Sky tries to rescue Esme Winters from her violent and controlling husband, she stubbornly rejects Sky’s offer of help. Because it’s not her husband she’s frightened of.

Gripping thriller
This book is sensational, and as an author myself I don’t use this word lightly! A most unusual plot with twists and turns that intrigue and surprise leading to an explosive and unexpected (but immensely satisfying) ending. I was extremely impressed with the author’s in-depth knowledge of so many skills, from martial arts to computers, and even the intricacies of picking a lock. Terrific book and extremely well narrated by the talented Andy Stevenson. A resounding 5* review from me.

New venture, new triumph for Nick Albert
Nick Albert has shown his skill and versatility here, by moving on to the thriller genre having had deserved success with his humorous memoir series ‘Fresh Eggs and Dog Beds’. And this is another triumph for him.
The leading character is Eric Stone, a usually unassuming professional martial arts teacher, who goes on a revenge mission following the death of his best friend, aspiring MP Charles Rathbone. Stone, along with his willing associates, private detective Ed Carter, the mysterious and beautiful Linda Smart and the larger-than-life Megan Smith, finds that he is playing with fire – possibly literally – and is risking his life and the lives of his friends in his determination to expose those responsible for Charles’s death.
The pace accelerates, the characters throughout are well-crafted and the ending is surprising and intriguing. Stone’s combat skills come in handy as he takes on the bad guys and comes within an inch of, not just losing his life, but also his moral compass.
Andy Stevenson’s narration is flawless, with each character clearly defined and consistently delivered, making this a highly entertaining listen.
It’s set up beautifully for a Book 2 in the series which I eagerly await!

Great story but confusing ending
Some aspects of this story, mainly regarding one of the major characters, are rather unrealistic, but it's still captivating with just the right abount of action to keep it exciting and suspenseful. And the narration by Andy Stevenson helps with this. His performance is outstanding. However, I don't like the way the story ended. It's confusing, and to me, unnecessary. Other than that, it's great!
