About this listen

He had been to the limit. Then they sent him further.

Gary - 'Gaz' - Baldwin is a watcher, not a killer. Operating with a special forces unit deep in Syria, he is to sit in a hide, observe a village, report back and leave.

But the appalling atrocity he witnesses will change his life forever.

Before long, he is living as a handyman on the Orkney islands, far from Syria, far from the army, not far enough from the memories that have all but destroyed him.

'Knacker' is one of the last old-school operators at the modern MI6 fortress on the Thames. He presides over the Round Table, a little group that meets in a pub and yearns for simpler, less bureaucratic times.

When news reaches Knacker that the Russian officer responsible for the Syrian incident may be in Murmansk, Northern Russia, he sets in motion a plan to kill him. It will involve a sleeper cell, a marksman and other resources - all unlikely to be sanctioned by the MI6 top brass, so it must be done off the books.

But first, he will need a sure identification. And for that, he needs a watcher.

Full of surprise, suspense and betrayal, Beyond Recall is a searching novel of moral complexity and a story of desperate survival.

Critic reviews

"Seymour produces the most intelligent writing in the thriller genre." (Financial Times)

A new fan of GS here but steadily going through the lifetime of stand alone novels while I wait for Mr Merick to return. I so wish the GS had written more episodic books as the characters are always so meticulously detailed. I get sad knowing that I won’t have more journeys with them.

This book very special. As a ‘blow in’ myself to the islands, I did not want to read this one but of course, GS got it perfectly. He finely drew out the odd job, the gravestones, the boats, the seals and the darkness. He even noted to always call them The Orkney Isles, never the Orkneys. Of course, The Mainland is Scotland. Mainland is Orkney. No ‘The’.

Hero’s and Villain’s. So many wonderful humans and a fair few horrid ones, selfish and just nasty.

Read exquisitely skipping between voices accents and gender.

Not a wasted moment had. Often rewound to catch a nuance missed.

Long, winding and exciting. Unexpected. Cruel. Beautiful .
