About this listen

The No.1 bestseller and three-time Crime Writers' Award Winner returns with a nail-biting new book. If you loved When You Are Mine or you're hunting for thrillers that make you think and feel, you won't want to miss this.

As the daughter of a London crime boss, PC Philomena McCarthy walks a thin blue line keeping the two sides of her complicated life apart.

On patrol one night she discovers a child in pyjamas, wandering alone. Taking Daisy home, Phil uncovers the aftermath of a deadly home invasion, as three miles away a prominent jeweller is found strapped to an explosive in his ransacked store.

The crimes are linked, and all the evidence points to Phil's father as the mastermind.

Phil's two worlds are colliding, trapping her in the middle of a vicious gang war that will threaten her career and everyone she loves.

Who can she trust - the badge or her own blood?

'Another tour de force from Michael Robotham. He is so good at humanising his characters - even the nasty ones' LINWOOD BARCLAY

Critic reviews

I raced through The White Crow. It's another tour de force from Michael Robotham. He is so good at humanising his characters - even the nasty ones (LINWOOD BARCLAY)
It's a rare treat to read crime fiction and adore the entire ensemble of characters. Everyone from PC Philomena McCarthy to Detective Keegan to Eddie McCarthy and his three old-school criminal brothers is so beautifully drawn - you tear through the pages praying they can be trusted. The pace clips along and the plot is full of lovely jinks and twists (LAINIE ANDERSON)

This is the 2nd book in the series but the first for me. Philomena is a very likeable protagonist and you are rooting for her throughout. This is just as well as life gets very dangerous for her as she plunges into a case of organised crime and violent corruption

I love Philomena, I haven’t met her before

I absolutely loved The White Crow. It’s clever, intense, and emotionally charged — everything I want in a psychological thriller. The narration was spot on, bringing the characters and tension to life. Michael Robotham just gets better and better. One of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to in a long time!

Absolutely Gripping – I Couldn’t Stop Listening

Sometimes you really need a well written and well narrated book.
As I listened to about three books a week and enjoy most, i really appreciate when one stands out and this one did for me.
There's extras to a story and a deepness to the characters that make it stand out.
And I never once questioned the narration. Sometimes in other books I wonder if the narrator is representing the characters in the way the author wrote them. This didnt happen here, I was told a story I really enjoyed.
I'm really hoping that it hear these characters again and wonder how the story of Filomena continues.
