About this listen

You can run. You can hide. But you can't escape…

Jonathan Hale is terrified. The wealthy property lawyer and money launderer is back home in Surrey after a nightmare experience in a U.S. jail. The police have him under secret surveillance.

But Hales's fears lie elsewhere. His plea bargain has earned him the enmity of The Reptile, a notoriously cold-hearted gangster, now confined for life in a maximum-security jail in Arizona thanks to Hale. He's taken precautions, moved house, hidden his identity and installed security for his wife and family. But still… what if The Reptile escapes?

For DCI Gillard it should be just another week at work. But before long he is involved in a desperate manhunt that will test him to his very limits.

Be prepared.

Strap yourself in for an intense and unforgettable crime thriller that won't let go, perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Cara Hunter and Mark Billingham.

Not one of his best books by far you could take it or leave it.

Not one I could read over again

I enjoyed this one a lot after having listened to all the books in the series which I feel is a powerful series that immerses you into devious and intelligent minds in good measure. The narration made the book for me. Lucy’s voice widely criticised by some here was actually one of my positive highlights. Not so much how she spoke but the things she came up with. If you have kids you will relate.

Of course, the story is rich with areas of contention. To escape from a high security prison and a country in a matter of days would be a big ask for most ordinary people. Then again, this wasn’t an ordinary character was he?

Great listen

Really enjoyed this book. As always narrator was excellent & the pace of the storylines just right. Really looking forward to the next one.

Not sure how others managed to listen last year when the book was only copyrighted this year !
