About this listen

He was never truly gone, only biding his time....

Late on midsummer's night there is a splash in the river Thames. A body is found on an island, asphyxiated and laced with strange markings. For DCI Craig Gillard it's a baffling case. The victim's identity is elusive, clues are scarce and every witness has something to hide.

Meanwhile one of Britain's deadliest serial killers is finally up for parole after a deal to reveal the location of two missing bodies. The felon has his own plans to get even with witnesses, accusers and the officer who caught him 30 years before. And who was that? A young trainee by the name of Gillard.

An explosive crime thriller from master storyteller Nick Louth, perfect for fans of Mark Billingham, Cara Hunter and Robert Bryndza.

Not the best of the series but full of twists. Some of the character voices are terrible but worth a listen overall

I enjoyed this tale. Gillard didn’t seem to play a massive part in the story, which was engaging, entertaining and also out there (no spoilers). The narration is excellent, fitting the pace well, so it all worked.

Great stuff, this, if a bit mad.

I enjoy the Gillard murder mysteries and this one did not disappoint. You can take it at face value or ponder on some of the more challenging characters and twists that are raised. This book has something for everyone. Some of the themes could have been expanded on further but overall I recommend this book.

Thought provoking with unusual murder
