About this listen
Sonny's on the run. Sonny is a model prisoner. He listens to the confessions of other inmates, and absolves them of their sins. He's been lied to his whole life. But then one prisoner’s confession changes everything. He knows something about Sonny’s disgraced father. Sonny wants revenge. He needs to break out of prison and make those responsible pay for their crimes. Whatever the cost.

All star, a brilliant crime story
A very different and interesting crime story, the plot is very complicated and full of surprises, it is a very different nordic noir, and no Harry Hole. There is no clear cut on what is good or bad, right or wrong, justice or injustice, the lines keep crossing one another in a complicated twist. This story would make a great movie too. Definitely recommend to all crime readers.

Fab listen!
I chose this based on other reviews as I was absolutely hooked on the Harry Hole series which was excellent but this was... Well fab!
Some great twists and turns keeping you hooked until the twist at the end - a well recommended listen. I'm a big Sean Barrett fan as he really does read the books well and you feel like he's the character. An excellent Jo Nesbo book.
Will there be another.... Hope so!

Good stuff
Could listen to Shaun Barrett read a phone book and he would make it good.. But even better when he gets a good story like this one...
Loved it and was rooting for sunny all the way...

He's done it again!
After reading headhunters and the Harry Hole series I was optimistic but wondered if Jo Nesbo could write another great thriller......and he has.
