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.

Louth once again proves his plotting and writing genius. He also managed to use the pandemic as a practical plot device. Superb narration too.

Great storyline a little scary with social media & teenager girls, had you hanging on every word towards the end. Narration was fantastic as usual.

Great listen

I admit, I was worried at first that the villain/murderer was a bit too much for me, but in true Nick Louth fashion, he went only so far, but not TOO far!

Another great Nick Louth nail biter!

I enjoy this series because they are all quite different. The lead detective isn’t always right and he makes mistakes but he shows up and works it out.

Very suspenseful

I wanted to listen more and more. very scary for a great portion of the book.

Compelling story

Many of the reviewers complained that there wasn't enough of Craig in the story. It's true, and we all love Gillard, but all of the other characters were so well fleshed out, that it kept you wanting to see what was going to happen to them. I really enjoyed it , and look forward to the next.

Excellent
