About this listen

A long weekend in Dublin. What could possibly go wrong?

John Milton is working in a hotel kitchen while searching for information on the Group Fifteen agent who betrayed him in Russia. His plans are upended when a deadly shooting places an innocent young girl in his path. Aided by an enigmatic woman he meets in the hotel, he rescues the girl and plunges headfirst into a deadly feud between two criminal families feuding in the run-up to a high-stakes MMA fight.

In the underbelly of the city, where alliances are as brittle as glass, Milton must navigate through treacherous secrets and betrayals, ensuring the safety of the girl while locating the only person who can clear his name. The fight draws closer and the stakes are raised—survival becomes a race against time.

In a world where loyalty comes with a price, and the truth is often disguised, Milton will have to use all his wits and skills to protect the innocent, uncover the truth, and make it out alive.

This is probably the most low key book in the series but also, one that flows the nicest and easiest. Two and a bit days it took me. Can't wait for more!
Let's go!

Thrilling

This new story, featuring the unique John Milton, had everything I could want in a gripping action story. There were several strands that John, ably assisted by Ziggy Penn, had to deal with to achieve his goals to clear his name.
The story takes us around Dublin but he's already planning ahead to travel further afield.
This gripping story would make an excellent movie #imho
Bravo Mark and Bravo David for the amazing narration with new accents.
Already looking forward to more please 🙏
