About this listen

You can run. You can hide. But you can't escape…

Jonathan Hale is terrified. The wealthy property lawyer and money launderer is back home in Surrey after a nightmare experience in a U.S. jail. The police have him under secret surveillance.

But Hales's fears lie elsewhere. His plea bargain has earned him the enmity of The Reptile, a notoriously cold-hearted gangster, now confined for life in a maximum-security jail in Arizona thanks to Hale. He's taken precautions, moved house, hidden his identity and installed security for his wife and family. But still… what if The Reptile escapes?

For DCI Gillard it should be just another week at work. But before long he is involved in a desperate manhunt that will test him to his very limits.

Be prepared.

Strap yourself in for an intense and unforgettable crime thriller that won't let go, perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Cara Hunter and Mark Billingham.

Hair stood on end!

Louth once again proves his plotting and writing genius. He also managed to use the pandemic as a practical plot device. Superb narration too.

Another great Nick Louth nail biter!

I admit, I was worried at first that the villain/murderer was a bit too much for me, but in true Nick Louth fashion, he went only so far, but not TOO far!

Very suspenseful

I enjoy this series because they are all quite different. The lead detective isn’t always right and he makes mistakes but he shows up and works it out.

Excellent

Many of the reviewers complained that there wasn't enough of Craig in the story. It's true, and we all love Gillard, but all of the other characters were so well fleshed out, that it kept you wanting to see what was going to happen to them. I really enjoyed it , and look forward to the next.

Very tense, scary, frightening and unable to stop listening.

I’ve listened to all of the Gillard books and I enjoyed every minute. The only character I didn’t like was Sam - but that was more the tone of her “voice” rather than her character.

What a treat!

I have an obsession with British mysteries and have now worked my way through the first 10 of this series. What an absolute treat to have part of this book take place in Arizona. I live in Phoenix and was absolutely not expecting that! Thanks for including a little bit of my new hometown in your fabulous plot

That Was Different

Great storyline a little scary with social media & teenager girls, had you hanging on every word towards the end. Narration was fantastic as usual.
