Great storyline from the outset, 2 stores running alongside each other coming together in brilliant fashion towards the end, still a few loose ends so look forward to exploring Stephen Leather titles

Great story, excellent plot and rattles along at a good speed, shame about the godawful attempts at accents from the reader.

Great story, shame about the performance.

Another great Stephen Leather novel, unfortunately the performance is awful, read by someone who cannot do any of the accents required which at points makes narrative hard to follow and generally annoying. Get past the poor performance though and you are gripped by a great story.
