A crime wave has hit town. The target is a highly sought-after brand of streetwear called Hybird X, clothing that costs a fortune and resells for unbelievable prices. Houses are burgled, kids mugged on the streets...and finally a young man dies, all for the sake of his shoes.

Then another boy’s body is found in a pile of rubbish. Meanwhile illegal steroids are flooding the streets. And there are dark movements on the marshes.

A shadowy figure called Darke and his teams of young criminals seem to be behind it all.

DI Jackman leads the investigation. He is extremely smart and has a knack for bringing out the best in his diverse team. DS Marie Evans is haunted by the loss of her husband in a motorbike accident. She is fiercely loyal to her friends and colleagues.

Introducing Richard Armitage, our star narrator


Richard is well-known for his array of film, television and theatre work, including The Hobbit, Spooks and The Crucible. His trademark baritone voice has earned him recognition, too, through his performance on many notable audiobooks as well as in TV and radio show narration. This experience shines through in Armitage's gripping performance of the Jackman and Evans series where he plays host to a plethora of characters.

And Joy Ellis, the book's author

Joy Ellis started her career as a flower seller in Mayfair in the 1960s, before going on to open her own florist in Surrey. When the recession hit, Joy had a career change and became a bookseller, and attended a writing course in Greece where she was mentored by Sue Townsend. She now lives in the Fens with her partner Jacqueline, where the flatlands and marshes provide inspiration for her eerie plotlines.

I love the Evans and Jackman series, and Joy Ellis has once again ruined an entire days plans, because once I started listening I could not stop. I would recommend starting with book 1 and savoring the drama.

So glad that I stumbled across this series. I read a lot of detective novels and Joy Ellis is now one of my favorite authors setting her stories in the fens , an area of my childhood. Gripping, page turning plots of current topics. Performed to perfection by the excellent actor Richard Armitage . Can’t wait for the next in the series. As my eye sight begins to show it’s age it is such a delight to be able to listen to these excellent audiobooks.
