About this listen
An innocent man framed. A case closed. A serial killer free to kill again.
It is 1985. Detective Inspector Mungo ‘Bob’ Willis is being forced out of Avon and Somerset Police on medical grounds. His career is in tatters, his body broken, his mind shattered, and his partner—DS Lizzie Harper—dead in a sting operation gone wrong.
Their last case is closed, but Bob is convinced an innocent man has been framed, leaving a serial killer cruising the A303 with impunity, free to target lone women who have broken down by the roadside late at night.
The killer knows the police aren’t looking for anyone else in connection with the murders. What they don’t know is what Bob will do next.
And when another woman is killed in horrifyingly similar circumstances, Bob launches his own—unofficial—investigation. Can he stop a sadistic killer before they kill again? And again…

First book of a new series for me
I like his Dixon series but interest has waned a bit in those for me. different style to this book but enjoyed the conversational aspect of it, lots of potential for more books and I look forward to the next one. very good performance by narrator.

Great performance
Perhaps I am still under Dixon’s spell, but I found it a bit too ‘american’, too 9 lives cat sort of story. Looking forward to the next one. Great performance though!

Excellent new character
Listened to this over two days and loved it. Set in 1985, I enjoyed the references to events of that time and the Little Chef menu.
Great story, well narrated by Nicholas Boulton.
I hope there isn't too long a wait for the next instalment.

Brilliant storyline enhanced by first rate narration
I enjoyed the twists and turns of this storyline. I binge- listened to this book with my earpods, just me and the narrator Bob ‘in’ on the details of his journey through this intimately told story as it unfolds in the present tense. I’ve read or listened to a number of Damien Boyd’s books, but this is the best and grittiest yet.

Another brilliant book by Damien Boyd
The scene setting, pace and twists in the story line are what I expect from Damien Boyd and this new series definitely delivered. Looking forward to the next book.

Really great story
I must say, I was completely engrossed in it from the very first chapter. The way the story unfolds had me hooked, and I found myself eagerly turning each page, wanting to know what would happen next.
Every chapter brought new twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. The character development was particularly impressive, as I felt a genuine connection with them. Their struggles and triumphs resonated deeply with me, making the reading experience even more immersive.
