About this listen

Two men out for revenge. But only one can win.

When an inmate is found unresponsive in his high security cell at Belmarsh prison, he's rushed to hospital for treatment. The prisoner is human trafficker and international fixer Tristan Huxley, a man a lot of people have good reason to want dead. But Huxley mysteriously never makes it to the hospital. He may have plenty of enemies but it seems he has some very powerful friends too.

Huxley's disappearance is bad news for anyone who betrayed him. One of those people is John Milton. Originally assigned to protect Huxley, things turned sour when he discovered the disturbing truth about his old friend's activities. Huxley isn't someone who forgives and forgets. But neither is Milton—when someone deserves punishment, he's compelled to deliver it, no matter where in the world that journey takes him.

A dangerous man is on the loose and Milton isn't the only one on his hit list. But could he be the only one capable of taking him out for good?

Loved this as I did all in the series. My only negative is that the books are never long enough and over too soon. I find them so gripping I can never put the story down and devour/gorge till it is finished. Now to patiently wait for the next.

Devoured in two sessions!

I really enjoy Mark Dawson's books, I'm uptodate with all things John Milton, this one was as good as the others. I just wish they were longer! Looking forward to the next one.

John Milton strikes again!

Fantastic narration of a great book series. Can’t wait for “Uppercut”.
Unmissable series which must be read from the beginning.


Awesome Milton as always.

As usual - a great page-turner, brilliantly read - and with a great lead-in to the next in series.

High suspense

There were points when Milton is on a sticky wicket! Can’t wait for the next one ! The narrator is utterly awesome on the voices too, particularly ziggy penn? Does he hold his nose?!

Bloody Marvellous
