About this listen

Hell has unleashed a demon - and he's coming for you....

Detective Chief Inspector Ryan's worst nightmare has just become a reality. Notorious serial killer The Hacker has escaped prison and kidnapped one of his best detectives from her own home. His brutality is the stuff of legend - Ryan lost his sister and nearly his own life bringing the man to justice first time around. Can Ryan do it again to save his friend?

There's a nationwide manhunt underway but the trail has gone cold and fear spreads like a virus. Ryan and his team must find The Hacker before he takes another life - but are they too late?

The clock is ticking....

Murder and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunit set amidst the spectacular Northumbrian landscape.

I enjoy this series and this didn't disappoint. The narrator brings the characters to life and he has a voice that I can listen to easily. it woulď help to listen to the earlier novel but not essential, purely for more context and characterisation.

He sounds like the sort of policeman we would a;ll like to meet, good looking, clever and caring - what more can we ask of a hero. Looking forward to the next book
