Summary
One day, your son disappears from the playground.
Ten years later, will you finally get the truth?
The disappearance of firearms police officer Jonah Colley's young son almost destroyed him. A phone call from an old friend leads Jonah to the warehouse Slaughter Quay, and the discovery of four bodies, with a link to his son's case. Attacked and left for dead in the dark, Jonah is the only survivor.
Under suspicion himself for what happened at Slaughter Quay, Jonah uncovers a network of secrets and lies about the people closest to him—forcing him to question what really happened to his son all those years ago...

Disppointing
On the strength of the author's David Hunter series I downloaded this book. It's not nearly as good. A formulaic thriller like so many others in the genre. A detective with a trouble personal life, who goes off on a tangent to investigate murders that he is then accused of, gets repeated attacked and injured and is bullied by an aggressive and cynical senior officer. So much so familiar: yawn, yawn.
I usually like Paul Thornley as a narrator but is this recording he delivers the text in a breathy edge of jeopardy voice without any variation in tone.

Great Book
This book swings along with an interesting and challenging storyline. Not for the faint hearted. Well written, almost plausible, beautifully narrated as usual by Paul Thornley. I have only discovered Simon Beckett as an author as I was looking for books read by Paul Thornely. I will be listening to more now.

Brilliant author & narrator
This is the 1st book ive listened to by this author and it definitely wont be the last. This is a brilliant, well written book that kept me up all night.
Paul Thornley is one of my favourite narrators (along with Angus King). I usually find new listens by searching these narrators, which is how I found this book. Paul makes a brilliant book even better!

Tense and credible read
Good story, well told and despite a few small procedural inaccuracies kept me listening right the way through. Loved the portrayal of the DI investigating the main character and a lovely twist at the end which I genuinely had not seen coming. I shall be following this author!

an unbelievable hero..
The hero frustrated me greatly, the story was rather unbelievable, the language unnecessarily foul - i would not read any other future books in this series.

Not quite 5 stars
Well..I listened to the very end and it was certainly entertaining from an author I hadn’t heard of before. I selected it because of the narrator who as ever was excellent and it turned out to be a good choice.
My only slight disappointment was that the amount of gratuitous violence the hero suffered during the story just wasn’t feasible, he would have been in Intensive Care for months. Hence the four stars…still, as ever with Paul Thornley it was narrated in a gripping manner and won’t disappoint.
