About this listen

Chris Hutchinson is a man on the run. Imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit, Hutch escapes from a British maximum security prison and starts a new life in Hong Kong. Then a ghost from his past catches up with him, forcing him to help a former terrorist break out of a Bankok prison. Or face life behind bars once more.

Meanwhile, the Drug Enforcement Administration wants to nail the vicious drug warlord responsible fo rflooding the States with cheap heroin. And decides to use Hutch as a pawn in a deadly game.

Hutch's bid for freedom takes him into the lawless killing fields of the Golden Triangle, where the scene is set for one final act of betrayal.

"In the top rank of thriller writers." (Jack Higgins)

Would you consider the audio edition of The Solitary Man to be better than the print version?

I loved this book. It is exciting and kept me interested until the very last page. I have not listened to anything by Stephen Leather that I did not enjoy and I love Paul Thornley's narration.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Solitary Man?

The character of the hero.

What does Paul Thornley bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

His intonation is so personal and different that it brings the characters to life. There is generally a touch of humour in his voice that adds to the overall performance.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No but I looked forward to starting it again each day. Went for long walks so that I could get a good long listen in.

Any additional comments?

Stephen Leather/Paul Thornley. Match made in heaven.

This was a gripping but very grim tale.
the terrible conditions in the Thai prison were difficult to read about. A stonking good tale.
