Summary
#taken in the night: They thought they were kidnapping the mistress of one of London’s most powerful gangsters. But they’ve taken the wrong woman. And crossed the wrong detective.
#taken underground: Detective Max Wolfe's hunt for the missing woman takes him from New Scotland Yard’s legendary Black Museum to the glittering mansions of career criminals, from sleazy strip joints to secret sex dungeons - and to unspeakably dark deeds committed decades ago.
#taken to the limit; It’s a world of family secrets, sexual jealousy, and a lust for revenge - which might also become Wolfe’s grave....

These tales just get better!
Love all the Max Wolfe books - adore his relationships with his daughter and his dog and his selflessness in trying to grow some kind of relationship between Scout and her selfish, self-serving arrogant mother. What Wolfe ever saw in her (other than her physical beauty) can only be guessed at - s'pose she must be good between the sheets.... ;)
This particular tale had me guessing all the way through - again! That just doesn't happen! I thought I had the answer but it was only a fraction of the whole thing - that's what I love about Tony Parsons - it's always more complicated than you, at first, think. No spoilers - just buy this and listen!
Great listening!

Another great Max Wolfe listen
I don't know if it's the creative mind of Tony Parsons or the captivating voice of Colin Mace that I love most about these books. The storylines and delivery are a winning combination.
Either way, I love Max Wolfe and Scout and after having books 1 and 2 in my library for so long before reading, I'm gutted I've now caught up.
I hope there's more to follow.

little in love: Max Wolfe,Colin Mace,Tony Parsons
Exclusively listen/read Crime books, particularly series such as S MacBride, Helen Fields,, Paul Finch but Max Wolfe is the ONLY character I have ever found myself drawn to. Tough, dedicated, driven & SO MUCH a Man who should have Fathered a Child - Unfortunately with a shallow, unfeeling, pointless but beautiful Woman (oh Max, how could you have been so blinded & naive?!). Childless Woman in 60's who has NO regrets about not reproducing Humans (what's to like?) but Max & Chris & Tony....the brilliant, sensitive creator - I am just a little bit in love with you all 'feeling & in- touch' Men along with really driven, gritty, surprising stories that are getting better & better........Thank You.

Terrific Thriller with a Heart
I've read all the books in this series and have come to know and love the characters, to the extent that, in many ways, plot is secondary to character development. However, this novel has a tight and twisty plot that's like a boy racer in a stolen car doing handbrake turns on a narrow cliffside road - exciting but not very sensible. The central relationship between Max Wolfe and his daughter is very well written and forms a humane backdrop to all the cartoon violence and death. I also like the descriptions of London as well as the modest exploration of the moral dilemmas faced by the police as they navigate the increasingly thin blue line. Okay, it's not Tolstoy but I like it.

Amazing
Superb narration from Colin Mace, he really brings the character of Max Wolfe to life.
Brilliant storyline, well paced, great characters and their interaction is impeccable.
Just hoping there will be another in this wonderful series.
