About this listen

Can the man who never was catch the criminals who never get caught?

John Milton is used to operating in the shadows, weaving his way through dangerous places behind a fake identity. Now, to avenge the death of a close friend, he must wear his mask of deception once more.

Beau Baxter was brutally murdered by a drugs cartel, but that doesn’t stop Milton from blaming himself for his friend’s death. With the help of a trusted team of undercover experts and Beau’s son, Milton is determined to track down the killers. And he isn't just after the man who gave the order. He’s heading right for the top.

Milton plans to follow the trail of cocaine from the nightclubs of Amsterdam all the way to its source in Colombia. Disguised as an ambitious buyer, he’s prepared to work his way up the cartel hierarchy one rung at a time. But the ladder can be slippery, and as Milton travels deeper into a world of violence, ruthlessness and greed, he finds himself in a jungle that could prove impossible to escape.

Not often you can have a chance to listen to an audio book that makes your ears glued to the narrative of the story. But Mark Dawson has made it. 💪💪💪👏👏👏👏😍😍😍👍👍👍

The mysterious character La Bruja is intriguing.

But the Control who is behind MAY covert and clandestine operations builds up a deluge of suspense in me.

I am looking forward to Mark Dawson's sequel that will reveal how the Control preys upon her quarry. That would be tantalising and thrilling. 😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩

A salacious story

Great story

I have the full collection of Milton Books on Audible . I highly recommend them. Milton is an ex government assassin and reformed alcoholic trying to do the right thing. And somehow ends up in the thick of it. Mark is very descriptive that you feel you're there. David Thorpe does a brilliant job of telling the tale.

another enjoyable read/listen
