Summary

An assassin haunted by his past. Two young refugees out of their depth and in need of his special talents.

John Milton is no stranger to the world's seedy underbelly. But when the former British secret service agent comes up against a ruthless human trafficking ring, he'll have to fight harder than ever to conquer the evil in his path.

After Milton meets a refugee who lost a sister to people smugglers, he travels through war-torn Libya and the murkiest parts of Italy and France to get the girl back. As enemies watch his every move, Milton confronts a group of Albanian pimps and smugglers so dangerous, they could easily make this mission his last.

Not the best storyline, but still gripping

For the most part, when writing reviews for audiobooks, I judge how high I score them on how much they are able to catch my attention. This captured my attention, but I wasn't all that fond of the storyline.

But I would still suggest purchasing this as that simply comes down to personal preference. Dawson is as consistent as ever with his captivating writing style.

Real topical in this present climate

Narration of Milton gets better and better. Exciting and pacey. Couldn't stop listening to it.

As always could not wait to listen.

I listened to it all in one day immersed in the story.
Listened to all of the books in the series and can't wait for the next.

Always Entertaining

I have listened to a number of the John Milton series. Always entertaining and narrated well.

Enjoy that the characters have doubts and are not perfect. Deals with the difficult topic of illegal immigration and show some of the complexity.

It was fun, but predictable...

Ok so if you not somebody that’s read them all from the start , it probably isn’t predictable.

But with another 10 books to go, you know that whatever the predicament, JM (Smith) is more than equal to it.

What is shared with James Bond is this: JM is a ruthless killer. If he wants you dead, you’re dead. His opponents, on the other hand, want to dilly dally. They perhaps don’t want to invent some convoluted method of death, but they’re never in any hurry to end JM’s life on earth.

That said, it is a good story and it’s wonderfully told.

On to the next one in the series - already bought in advance.

This is my first Mark Dawson book and I love the character of John Milton. Great story, scary though because it does happen!! Looking forward to my next encounter with John Milton.

Great book as always

Enjoyed the story full of unexpected twists & turns. However in the case of The Jungle I found some of the description of torture a bit too gruesome.

All in all I still enjoyed it & love the clean up ending.
