About this listen

A desolate moor. A burned body. A deadly conspiracy.

DCI Tom Raven is enjoying the long summer days when an encounter with an old army pal spouting conspiracy theories reignites long-buried memories he would rather forget.

A few days later, walkers crossing the North York Moors discover the burnt remains of a body beside a stone cross on a Bronze Age burial mound.

When the investigation leads to a top-secret military base, Raven is drawn into a plot that threatens national security. He must confront his mixed emotions about his own military past while in a race against time to unravel the conspiracy and catch the killer.

Set on the North Yorkshire coast, the Tom Raven series is perfect for fans of David J Gatward, J M Dalgliesh, Simon McCleave, and British crime fiction.

This series is going from strength to strength and I really enjoyed the latest book featuring Tom Raven. The case is interesting and moves at a good pace. The characters continue to develop and Tom and his team are all likeable.

I really love books set in places that I know. I had many family holidays in Scarborough as a child, and with my own family, and now live quite close so many of the locations in this series are familiar to me. This one is set mostly on the North York Moors near Fylingdales (I miss the 'golf balls').

I enjoyed the narration by Dan Calley.

The monotonous tone of the narrator spoils this Tom Raven episode, but another enjoyable tale from Yorkshire!
