Previously published as Alias Emma.

MOVE FAST. STAY DARK.

These are the instructions sent to new operative Emma Makepeace.

She's been assigned to track down a man wanted by the Russians and bring him into MI5.

It should be easy. But the Russians have eyes everywhere.

Emma knows that if spotted she and her target will be killed.

What follows is a perilous chase through London's night-time streets.

But in a city full of cameras, where can you hide?

Amazing story
Beautifully narrated
Already recommending this book to my friends
I have multiple different books and podcasts on the go, but they all took second place to The Chase

Couldn't stop listening

Wanted to like this having read an interview with the author, but the premise of running through London ahead of KGB assassins makes for a tedious plot. Repetitive language and phrasing, too. The narrator’s voice was also not compelling. Needed someone more seasoned to save the reader from the writing.

Tedious and repetitive

Mayhem on the streets of London, breathless chase sequences with little respite between. Intriguing main characters.
What more do you need.
I confess that my initial impression of the narrator was a little underwhelming and light-weight but after a few minutes I tuned in to the faultless punctuation - no false pauses or absences thereof - excellent portrayal of emotions and appropriate intonation. In the end I went to look for more of Sophie Colquhoun's narrative performances - only to find there are only two plus the next Ava Glass outing for Emma Makepeace - in Audible. I will keep checking for more.
Needless to say I have already pre-ordered. "The Traitor".
Ava Glass is now on my must-read and listen list ( along with Morgan Greene (DI Jamie Johansson), Andy Maslen (Stella Cole), Mason Cross, Michael Connelly and some recent David Baldacci to name a few).

Top notch spy/ action thriller - not to be missed!

It took me a few hours of listening until I was hooked, I finished the book in 3 days and then downloaded the next book 😊
The narrator took a little getting used to.

Enjoyable and exciting
