About this listen
Fighting on the frontline of the war against crime, Cam Addicott was one of the very few hard-boiled and highly experienced surveillance operatives to get called up to the secretive and elite Alpha Projects unit - a group of dedicated undercover customs officers. Alpha Projects unit hunted the UK's most dangerous criminals by extraordinary means – starting with the interception and decoding of their phone calls.
Cam soon knew the lives of the people he hunted better than they knew each other. The team shadowed gangsters as they mixed with celebrities, as they brokered huge drug deals in nightclubs and airports, until finally, it was time for Alpha to strike. In this riveting and brutal true story, a cast of unforgettable Mission Impossible characters go far beyond the call of duty to take down their most elusive target, as the lives of the hunted and hunter weave together in an explosive narrative.

Law enforcement as seen on the ground. I like the first person perspective, with all the gritty details, the hiccups, the bouts of luck (or not) ... you feel as if you are in the car with the other officers.Have you listened to any of Chris Pavlo’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Good performance, but the style of the book (1st person narrative),If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
"Fly on the wall documentary meets Strike Back" is actually quite good, no?Any additional comments?
It is a side remark but an editor should have sat down with the author and improved the parts about his personal story (the author mentions several times in the book the impact his work has on himself and his family life). The way it is written, it is a bit too superficial and formulaic. It could have been brought out better. These parts actually made me feel less close to the author while I felt really engulfed with him when he honestly talks about his investigations.Fly on the wall documentary meets Strike Back

The narrator was at times audibly bored, with some real breathy reading at e start which nearly caused me to stop listening, however the plot was strong enough to keep me listening.
I’d recommend this to anyone interested in espionage and crime stories.
An interesting insight
