Summary

Two men out for revenge. But only one can win.

When an inmate is found unresponsive in his high security cell at Belmarsh prison, he's rushed to hospital for treatment. The prisoner is human trafficker and international fixer Tristan Huxley, a man a lot of people have good reason to want dead. But Huxley mysteriously never makes it to the hospital. He may have plenty of enemies but it seems he has some very powerful friends too.

Huxley's disappearance is bad news for anyone who betrayed him. One of those people is John Milton. Originally assigned to protect Huxley, things turned sour when he discovered the disturbing truth about his old friend's activities. Huxley isn't someone who forgives and forgets. But neither is Milton—when someone deserves punishment, he's compelled to deliver it, no matter where in the world that journey takes him.

A dangerous man is on the loose and Milton isn't the only one on his hit list. But could he be the only one capable of taking him out for good?

Brilliantly flipped

I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. It twists and turns are great, Jesu when I thought Milton was coming to the end.

Brilliant

I have read or listened to all the John Milton series so far and this is by far the best.
Fast paced with twists and turns throughout can’t wait for the next in the series.

He’s up to his neck again!

Our hero continues to get himself tied up in the most complicated of knots - or is it plots! Double crosses, twists and turns, travel across continents, hunter and hunted ….. brilliant as usual!

I’m sure David Thorpe as narrator, has increased his amazing repertoire of accents. He is also absolutely brilliant!
