About this listen

"He said if he hadn't heard from you by high noon today, he was going to strap on his six-guns and ride back into town. So I think you should call him, Charlie. Call him before you come home."

Charlie Hills, former desk sergeant at Kings Lake Central, is in trouble. He hasn't told Smith, his old friend and sparring partner, but someone has, and now the two former policemen are about to embark on a difficult and potentially dangerous search for the truth. For one of them, it could be life-changing.

Once again, an excellent read and sorry I’ve finished it. I’ve read all of Peter Grainger’s books and would strongly recommend reading them in order as you get to know the characters well. Also he refers back to past episodes, so it adds to the enjoyment. Excellent characters and settings that can easily be imagined also add to the pleasure of these books, as well as good plots. The reader is one of my three favourite at all times and I have listened to hundreds. Highly recommended.

Not disappointed!

I’ve read all 10 of these and now don’t know what to do with myself haha. Hoping there is another one in the making? Enjoyed every book thoroughly and think the author and reader alike bought it all to life. Incredible.

Great story line. Beautifully told and didn’t disappoint. On to his next book which I expect will be as good.

Excellent narration

The tidbits of information and the descriptive humour within the book are exceptional because of the voice of Gildart Jackson.

This is one of the best series of police investigation stories I've listened to. They have been consistently riveting stories and so well read I'm only sorry that the next book seems to be the last.

clever story well read and written
