About this listen

For DCI Gillard, sometimes old sins cast long shadows…

Under a motorway flyover lies the body of a young man. Days earlier, he had been involved in an altercation with DCI Craig Gillard's pregnant partner Sam. Now he's dead...

Meanwhile, something is brewing in the criminal underworld. Whispers of a big job have reached the Met's Flying Squad. Something is going to be stolen, and soon. Something worth 500m.

But what? And where? And how does it relate to the body under the overpass? It should be a simple case: stop the burglary, crack the gang, find the murderer—but for Gillard, once again it's personal…

Fast-paced and utterly unputdownable, the next installment of the DCI Gillard series is perfect for fans of Robert Bryndza, Stuart Macbride and Faith Martin.

Very enjoyable, good story could not put it down, completed in 2 days. Looking for my next Nick Louth book.

Very good

This time a mix of old-fashioned criminality and new century techno crime. Characters as usual drawn clearly. Narration good, except when he puts on some attempt at a ‘woman’s’ voice, or a man with an accent - they can sound the same and it’s annoying.

Another gripping tale
