About this listen

The start of a gripping new crime thriller series introducing Intelligence officer Sophie Racine and featuring ex-SAS officer Aidan Snow!

‘Alex Shaw is one of the best thriller writers around!’ Stephen Leather

A TRAITOR WHO CAN’T BE CAUGHT
French Intelligence officer Sophie Racine is tasked with travelling into the heart of a warzone in Ukraine. Her mission is to assassinate a Russian spy who took the French secret service apart piece by piece and gave their secrets to the Kremlin.

A PRISONER WHO CAN’T BE KILLED
Ex-SAS trooper and MI6 Officer Aidan Snow is also in Ukraine. Sent by British Intelligence, he must extract an innocent citizen caught up in the conflict in rebel-controlled Donetsk.

A WAR THAT CAN’T BE WON
When their missions collide, Snow and Racine find themselves outgunned and outnumbered. Even if they make it out of the warzone alive, danger won’t be far behind…

Perfect for fans of Killing Eve, Chris Ryan, James Deegan and Vince Flynn, this is an explosive action thriller you won’t be able to put down.

Don’t miss the first book in the explosive Sophie Racine thriller series!

Critic reviews

"A cracking read! Fast-paced, thrilling without being gory and kept me turning the pages! I'm sure it'll be very successful." (Faith Martin)

"A terrific two-fisted thriller. Relentless pace, a kickass female protagonist and a tight, twisting plot that keeps the pages turning to the end." (Neil Lancaster)

The story line is topical and action packed. a brilliant and unconventional twist of an ending setting up nicely a second book and series of Racine stories.

My only criticism is that it's just a bit jumpy between present day and the past to cover off the for the back story which disrupts the flow for me.

A strong finishing debut for Racine

Whilst this was a "punt" listen - I'd never read the author, nor listened to the narrative- I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed this exploration of something that can easily happen today with the imperialism of Russia towards Ukraine.

I look forward to the follow up!
