Summary
In Britain's darkest hour of the war a veteran left behind from the fighting discovers evacuee children haven't been arriving at their destinations.
May 1940.
With Nazi forces sweeping across France, invasion seems imminent. The English Channel has never felt so narrow.
In rural Sussex, war veteran John Cook has been tasked with preparing the resistance effort, should the worst happen.
But even as the foreign threat looms, it's rumours of a missing child that are troubling Cook. A twelve-year-old girl was evacuated from London and never seen again, and she's just the tip of the iceberg - countless evacuees haven't made it to their host families.
As Cook investigates, he uncovers a dark conspiracy that reaches to the highest ranks of society. He will do whatever it takes to make the culprits pay. There are some lines you just don't cross.
THE LAST LINE is a blistering action thriller combined with a smart noir mystery, played out expertly against the taut backdrop of the British home front.

Absolutely brilliant
I don’t normally write reviews but in this case I will make an exception….
I genuinely thought this was a truly excellent book. It had everything I wanted, was really well written and the narration was spot on. Can’t wait until the next one!

Great thriller
I loved listening to this audiobook. Lots of twists and turns and Orlando Wells is a brilliant narrator. It's a book that I must recommend.

A great read
I’ll admit it: I bought this book in a mixture of curiosity and error. Curiosity because I live in the area that the book is set (I even once lived in the lodge house of the property I believe Isfield Park is based on and because the book has been extensively advertised in local social media groups. Error due to fat fingers hitting purchase when looking on my iphone.
I am so glad for curiosity and error. This book is a great listen. Your attention is captured throughout and it really captures the mood of the nation at the time. Great narration too.
