About this listen

A killer is at work in the supposedly safe commuter belt. DCI Gillard needs answers fast....

Promising architect Peter Young is shot dead at his desk. DCI Craig Gillard is on the scene, looking at what appears to be a brutal and highly professional hit: two bullets, fired with ice-cold calm. Gillard knows that the most crucial question in solving the crime is one word: why?

Two weeks later, on the Lincolnshire coast, another body is found on a windswept beach. In this case there is no identity for the young man, just a curious brand burned into his neck. As the mystery deepens, Gillard is plunged into a case without answers, finding himself up against dark forces - people who believe in only two things: blood and a warped code of honour. This time lives are on the line, children's lives - as well as his own.

At breakneck pace and with a jaw-dropping twist, the suspense-filled second DCI Gillard crime thriller is perfect for fans of Robert Bryndza, Patricia Gibney and Faith Martin.

This book started off going in what I thought was one direction, a fairly run of the mill crime thriller. It then changed tack and took me on a journey through organised crime, feudal warfare and some dreadful consequences for all involved. Narration was excellent. I’m very very picky in terms of narration. If it doesn’t sound right it gets switched straight off. This kept me hooked from beginning to end due to great storytelling.

I like this series and the characters - this one has lots of suspense but is a little far fetched in places.

Good narration and characters

good to have different accents but, maybe London ones a bit strong. although it helped differentiate the
numerous characters.

intricate nature of plot. unlikely but interesting.
