About this listen

They call Charlie Muffin a traitor. He has been on the run ever since the blow-up in Berlin, when British intelligence declared him obsolete and tried to kill him. Charlie outsmarted them then, and he has done so ever since, staying one step ahead by forgoing any semblance of an even halfway normal life. Now he is alone in Hong Kong and his only protector and friend, Rupert Willoughby, is a hemisphere away. Now Rupert is in trouble. He has invested £6 million in a massive new ocean liner but the ship is destroyed by arsonists, burning completely down in a Hong Kong harbor. The owners blame Chinese agents, but Charlie smells a rat and agrees to investigate. But the conspiracy is more dangerous than anyone knew, and it’s not long before Charlie realizes that his good deed could be his last.

Charlie rises to help his friend and in doing so pulls himself from the doldrums he'd been slipping into. Although "rusty" his skills were still good enough for the job in hand.

A bit off piste, this one. Marginally contrived in comparison to Charlie's previous outings, but nevertheless i am enjoying this series.

A wee bit random

Good second story

Every one of this series has been very different and great to listen to . One criticism you don't have the books numbered so you're never sure where you are in Charlie's life.
