About this listen

A brutal murder. A haunted detective. A case that unearths monsters.

When a young woman is killed, squashed between a London bus and a white van, DI Simon Fenchurch is called in to investigate, soon discovering the case has deeper roots than initially appears.

With new gangs wrestling to take over east London and a fresh wave of innocent victims exploited by new monsters, Fenchurch must work with old friends and new foes to unpick a web of lies and deceit.

As Fenchurch and his wife Abi struggle to reconnect with their daughter, Fenchurch comes face to face with his worst nightmare—the man who allegedly abducted Chloe eleven years ago, now out having served time for another murder.

But is Fenchurch just playing to his own prejudices? Is he looking for the real killer? And will he have to pay a high price to catch a brutal murderer?

Murder is intercut with humor in this fast-paced crime thriller set on the gritty streets of East London. If you like JD Kirk, Jack Gatland, and LJ Ross, you will love this hard-hitting, twisty-turny British suspense thriller series!

I wasn't sure about the first Fenchurch novel, but now I'm listening to them one after the other

Good twists in this story

Enjoyable Book in the DI Fenchurch series and excellently narrated by the talented Angus King.
I enjoyed this book but found the plot to be a tad muddled compared to previous ones. Cannot quite put my finger on it.
Really hoping that the Chloe arc doesn’t become all encompassing - cannot say much more as do not wish to give away any part of the story.
The series is excellent & I eagerly await the next instalment.

Enjoyed

Fenchurch has to learn to play by the rules …. Almost! Another great strong from Ed James made brilliant by Angus King

Angus King does it again and brings Ed James’ characters to life
