About this listen



'TWIST AFTER TWIST... IT BUILDS TO A BRILLIANT FINALE.' Daily Mirror

A plane explodes over the Atlantic Ocean
, killing hundreds of passengers, including controversial US presidential candidate Dale Victor. It appears to be a clear-cut case of terrorism. But as criminal barrister Michael Devlin is about to discover, everything is not as it seems.

Also suspecting there are shady forces at work, intelligence agent Joe Dempsey is driven to investigate. Who would have wanted this potential new president out of the way - and who would commit mass murder to do it?

All the way to the top of the US government, someone is determined to stop Dempsey and Devlin from discovering the truth. At any cost.

Another belter!

Pacey, intriguing and addictive I love that this author is so loyal to the characters, each time ensuring that he doesn’t sell out or prostitute their personas to broaden readerships. Instead you’ve got what’s forming into the promise of a really long running series. There’s some real bravery in the subject matter but it remains respectful. We can’t all like the same things and you can never please everyone that’s for sure but I think these have all ingredients of real best sellers. More please.

Great story, but

The narrator puts a lot of effort into all the different accents which distracts from the story. His American accents are truly awful. Black Hork helicopter? He does Scottish, Northern and Southern Irish, not to mention London English though not Cockney. I wish he would drop all the imitations and focus on the story which he reads well.

Outrageous!

Another gripping story by Kent, if a little slow to crank up the gears. The whole premise was outrageous but somehow believable and the denouement a little contrived. Nevertheless a good read, albeit the narrator’s Scottish accent was dreadful - he’s much better with the Irish ones!
