About this listen

 The gripping new Ben Hope thriller from the Number One bestseller.

When ex-SAS major Ben Hope is urgently recalled to the UK from his base in France to assist with a family crisis, little does he know that he’s about to be drawn into one of the most dangerous missions of his career: his son Jude has been accused of a brutal murder, and all the evidence points to his guilt.

To prove Jude’s innocence Ben embarks on a wild chase, facing up against mysterious killers and piecing together a fragile web of clues. What connects an all-female criminal gang from the early 1900s called the Forty Elephants, a century-old vendetta and a shadowy government conspiracy that claimed millions of innocent lives?

Along the way Ben teams up with his former acquaintance, rugged Detective Tom McAllister. They’re heading for a showdown in the wilds of Cornwall, and the villains have no intention of letting Ben come out of it alive . . .

Probably one of my favourite Ben Hope books, and I have read/listened them all over the years.
this one even made me chuckle a few times, especially the epilogue.
Great narration too
Thanks again Scott, and I don't see Ben retiring anytime soon

As always, Ben at his best. There is some interesting info on real life stuff that makes you think and the obvious parallels to modern day and its pandemic. makes you think.
my only criticism of this audio rendition is so bad editing. the narrator I have always liked but the bad splicing of his reading the book could be off putting or annoying the some. personally not a problem, I thought "fuck it!" !!

Baddy was weak, Jude is weak and annoying, yada yada bad pharma yada yada. Ben great as usual but lacked the La Val crew. Not up to the usual standard but OK.

Not as good as it should be

Love the way this author brings familiar characters back into the story. In this one it’s Jude his son & a Irish policeman. Well written and good storyline

Any fab story
