About this listen

Money can't buy everything.

But it can buy revenge.

Can a doctor take lives instead of saving them?

British Doctor Raj Patel puts his own life on the line to treat the injured in war-torn Syria. His medical skills help casualties survive against all the odds. But Raj needs to rely on a completely different set of skills when he is taken hostage in a treacherous case of mistaken identity.

Billionaire big-game hunter Jon van der Sandt is driven by revenge - his family have been killed by jihadist terrorists, and he wants his vengeance up close and personal. He has hired ex-Special Forces hard men to snatch the ISIS killers from the desert and transport them halfway across the world to the vast wilderness of his American estate.

But they grab Raj by mistake, and once the killing begins, it's too late to plead mistaken identity. To survive, he'll have to become as ruthless a killer as the man who is hunting him.

This must be one of the best Stephen Leather books I have read and that from someone who has listened them all! It is fast paced and suspenseful from the very start. I cannot condone animal hunting in any form so immediately fell out with The Hunter himself but the way the book developed I must admit I ended up liking and feeling sorry for him. All the characters are well developed and Raj is one of the best, a guy who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time drawn into a life or death situation. I must disagree with the previous reviewer about Paul Thornley's narration, I thought that he was at his very best in this book. If I could give this book 10 stars then I certainly would! **********!

Stephen Leather at his very best!

As with most of Stephen Leather's books, this is a good story with clear beginning, middle and end, sadly missing from many other thrillers. Like other reviewers, I wasn't particularly partial to reading about the central issue of the story (hunting) and the justifications for doing it but it did fit in well with the narrative. Paul Thornley, as usual, excellent and particularly for this kind of book. An excellent holiday read.

Good story, easy read
