About this listen

A band of vigilante executioners roam London's hot summer nights, abducting evil men and hanging them. Sentenced to death is the gang member who abused vulnerable girls, the wealthy drunk driver who mowed down a child and the hate preacher calling for the murder of British troops.

As the bodies pile up and riots explode all over the sweltering city, DC Max Wolfe embarks on his most dangerous investigation yet: hunting a gang of killers whom many believe to be heroes....

Fabulous Book

Looking forward to the others in the series. Loved his previous books but was unsure that he would be as good a good crime writer. How wrong I was.

A Master Story Teller

A great gripping story with both sides of the picture well put forward and cleverly debated through the tough actions of Central London.
I live minutes from Hampstead Heath and can see Mac and Stan there in my minds eye.
Really interesting aspects about the underground rivers of London that originate around the Heath.
Perfect style of narration for the setting, style and tone.

Thanks to Tony Parsons and Colin Mace

Another fantastic Max Wolfe book.

This is another great story in the Max Wolfe series. The pace is fast but Tony Parsons still manages to create an ebb and flow of Drama. Never shying away from real life issues this is a gripping read. Once again Colin Mace reads narrates beautifully.

Terrific on all levels!

Great characters throughout the storyline which in itself very thought provoking & unnerving.
Narration was spot on & never inappropriate which is great for the book.
Most books go on too long & bore the reader/listener this is the opposite it could have a I wanted it to go on longer!

Definitely a must listen!

Steve

A good one at last after a fair few lemons!

"One in the head, one in the heart*

Another truly outstanding novel in the DC Max Wolfe series. The storyline is very complicated. I never guessed the final exposure of the villains - something I can normally do.

The narrator has brought Max Wolfe, Scout his young daughter, and the various characters to life for me. I'd recognise Max Wolfe if he was in a crowd.

We need more members of the police like DC Max Wolfe

Have gone through the Max Wolfe books in rapid succession

Murder mystery, crime etc are not genres I've ever read before but I loved these three books.

Colin Mace's narration is easy on the ear and fits in perfectly with the carrier - I've now downloaded another book based on him narrating it.

I'm looking forward to the next one and hope Mr Mace continues as the voice of Max Wolfe

Brilliant!!

Colin Mace is fantastic narrator for Wolfe, tough cop with a soft side. Great story, with pace and characters you wanted to know more about, and all with the backdrop of the history and underbelly of London city. Each book gets better and I can't wait till the next!
