About this listen

Special low price for a limited period to discover Paul Finch’s debut crime novel.

Time’s up. You’re Next.

"All he had to do was name the woman he wanted. It was that easy. They would do all the hard work."

Detective Sergeant Mark 'Heck' Heckenburg is investigating the disappearance of 38 different women. Each one was happy and successful until they vanished without a trace.

Desperate to find her missing sister, Lauren Wraxford seeks out Heck’s help. Together they enter a seedy underworld of gangsters and organised crime.

But when they hear rumours about the so-called 'Nice Guys Club' they hit a brick wall. They're the gang that no one will talk about. Because the Nice Guys can arrange anything you want. Provided you pay the price…

Dark, terrifying and unforgettable. Stalkers will keep fans of Stuart MacBride and Katia Lief looking over their shoulder.

Critic reviews

“Edge-of-the-seat reading…Heck is formidable – a British Alex Cross.” THE SUN

“Wonderfully dark and peppered with grim humour. Finch is a born storyteller and writes with the authentic voice of the ex-copper he is.” PETER JAMES

"An ingenious and original plot. Compulsive reading.” RACHEL ABBOTT

“A deliciously twisted and fiendish set of murders and a great pairing of detectives.” STAV SHEREZ

“Avon’s big star…part edge-of-the-seat, part hide-behind-the-sofa! An excellent series.” THE BOOKSELLER

The first Paul Finch book I have listened to it will certainly not be the last. Great characters great plot listened in record time because I could not put it down

Paul Thornley shows yet again that in this genre he is the benchmark by which all other narrator's are judged.

I am tempted to start my next Paul Finch right away but stuff this good should be kept and brought out for a special occasion.

This is a fairly average story made by some excellent narration. There are quite a few characters with various regional UK accents and the narrator Paul Thornley does a brilliant job of switching from Manc to Leeds to Brum to Cockney.

The story is one of a maverick cop on the hunt on a crazed gang of killers who has he tracks down with the help of a beautiful but troubled sidekick.

Great narration

This is my first Paul Finch book. I was drawn to this because of two reasons. Firstly, audible have all the books in the series and secondly Paul Thornley is the narrator. The story is solid and there is action and suspense all the way through. I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

Outstanding
