About this listen
As dawn breaks on a snowy February morning, a refrigerated lorry is found parked in the heart of London's Chinatown. Inside, 12 women, apparently illegal immigrants, are dead from hypothermia. But in the cab, DC Max Wolfe finds 13 passports. Twelve dead women. Thirteen passports. The hunt for the missing woman will take Max Wolfe into the dark heart of the world of human smuggling, mass migration and 21st-century slave markets.
There is a fate worse than death in this fifth instalment of the sensational Max Wolfe series, from best-selling author Tony Parsons.

Tony Parsons deals with another tough topic
This is wonderful story telling. London, its smells, noises and people emerge, gloriously, from the page.
The story itself surrounds the murky, brutal world of human trafficking, an enterprise that is ever expanding. Parsons humanises the victims, ranging from trafficked sex slaves to servitude.
They are a bit far fetched however - as is all crime fiction, nevertheless, I've enjoyed all of these as they race along and keep you engaged.

Another cracker.
Loved the story, and the narration was perfect.
Tony Parsons writes so movingly, like a poet.

From Strength to Strength!
This is just fabulous, one of those occasions where writer and narrator seem to fit hand in glove to deliver a fabulous listening experience. Max Wolfe and his daughter Scout are firmly ensconced in this reader's heart and I hope that this series is a long-runner!
This one delves into the murky world of human trafficking and there are one or two parts where I don't think that it could actually work as the author has described. However, I love how Tony Parsons writes, he captures scenes, feelings and character often in very few, incredibly well-chosen words. It's a real talent and it allows a lot of depth in terms of character to shine through giving the whole thing a genuine warmth in amongst what is a tale about human suffering.
Most definitely recommended!

Is It Me, Or .....
Loving the stories, enjoying the narration but is it me or shouldn't this be the fourth not fifth book in the series? Without wishing to give the game away, we said fond farewells to at least two characters in Girl On Fire who reappear here, large as life. Whilst reading the books in chronological order is not vital (as each stands alone quite happily), those devouring them in one sitting, so to speak, will be unnecessarily disappointed.

Really enjoyed this book but I did work out who the real bad person was!! A few twists and turns along the way though which kept it interesting

Enjoyed this book
All about people smuggling. It was fast paced and worth listening to - in fact I couldn't stop listening. I liked the writing and narration and will try others in this series.

A good story but I got lost in the last third.
This started off very well, but some stories really need to be listened to in one or two sittings, as by the time I got to the last third I had pretty much lost the thread.
Colin Mace shows great promise as a narrator and could even, one day, be an Alex Jennings, if he would just pronounce the ends of his words. It's not written as, (a made up example) "He pu' his boo' on the table and ha' a dri' " so, if it says "he put his book on the table and had a drink" then this is what the listener wants to hear. He does occasionally get too Londoney, reverting to London vowels, but his timbre and pitch are excellent, making him pleasant to the ear and brain.

A dark tale of human trafficking
The narrator Colin Mace is excellent. Descriptions of London are sublime! Simply the unfolding of DC Max Wolfe throughout the stories has always been interesting and I hope in more books to come you get more character depth with Wolfe.
