About this listen

When a child is kidnapped by his unstable mother, the father turns to Joe Tiplady - offering him a lot of money to find the boy and bring him back. It soon becomes clear that Joe will have to earn every cent: mother and son are in war-torn Syria, and they've willingly joined the ranks of ISIS.

Meanwhile Zeke Chandler, CIA deputy director, is in Albania, where four electrocuted bodies have been found on a mountainside near a secret black-ops facility. Two seemingly unrelated incidents, but Joe will find himself crossing paths with Zeke again.

From the Hollywood underworld to bombed-out Aleppo, via a controversial US election and a global refugee crisis, Joe's hunt for the missing boy will send him to the darkest, most dangerous places in the modern world. And his search may force him to confront the unfinished business in his own murky past - that is, if he survives.

I really struggled with this and the previous novel.

I realise that the lead character is Irish, but does the narrator have to read the story in Irish? His attempt at English is perhaps the most entertaining part of the book.

The story is too racist for me. We have no right to condemn the Hungarians for their treatment of refugees. I know that the situation in Syria is very tragic, but that doesn't embrace the whole world, nor are the conditions comparable.

I will not be reading any more by this author and I am relieved that I got the books free through Amazon.
