From the number one international best-selling author of Holy Island and Impostor.

From the shadows into the light....

When a fishing boat is wrecked off the treacherous North Sea coast and the body of a young woman washes up on the beach beside the iconic ‘Marsden Rock’, DCI Ryan cannot ignore the call to duty.

With one already dead and more human cargo missing from the wreckage, Ryan and his team race to find the remaining souls - before it’s too late and their investigation turns to murder. As they uncover the seedy underbelly of Tyneside, cold and calculated opportunism clashes with the rock-hard arm of the Law, but there’s one thing that proves stronger than stone....

The human spirit.

Murder and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunnit set amidst the spectacular North Eastern landscape.

Love, love, love the DC Ryan Mysteries. I've read them all except Cuthbert's Way, that one would never download for me. Not even the people at Audible could help me. So, hopefully I didn't miss another great book because I finally gave up on it.

This one was about human trafficking and, I swear, Lawana was one of the bravest women I've ever read about AND I'm going to assume the last guy who took her will be in the next book, cuz he sure got away in this one.

No sex or swearing at all.

As for the narration: Jonathan Keeble is awesome in this book. You don't even have to be told who's talking, if you've read all the Ryan books, because his voices for all the main characters are always so exact, so perfect.

Awesome series..

Always does a fantastic job of making you feeling a part of the story and a part of the lives of these characters. I love that she always includes a mild recap on the characters. It enables you to read them as stand alone titles without feeling lost in the series. Her books are filled with intense emotion and detail. This book in particular, she took extra care in the dedication and prefacing with a warning about the topic. Trafficking is a sensitive topic and not many authors include a warning of the content and tribute to the real men &women that that suffer their fate.
Always one of my favorite reads.

We’ve now finished 18 of 21 books in the DCI Ryan series. It’s 18 for 18 five star ratings. It’d be very hard to pick a favorite as they’re all exceptionally well written. Can’t wait to start #19!

Great Read

Wow, what a book, one of the best, this brought out so many emotions in me while I was listening to it. DCI Ryan & Team are one of my favorite characters and would so love them to make a TV series out of them. I am sure it would be followed by millions of people, as the books are. I am totally addicted. Love the narration, the best.

Good Story. I'm assuming the next one will clear up the loose ends. I really enjoy these characters and hope there are many more stories to come

Good Story

I love the DCI Ryan series and adore the characters - even Mel who often gets on my nerves. I'm sad that I'm going through them so fast and already getting that melancholy feeling of knowing I'm almost caught up. Every story has been fantastic, many have brought tears and this one was no exception. Jonathan Keeble is outstanding as usual (I love anything he reads!) and Louise did an amazing job of weaving a great story while taking command of a difficult subject. I can't imagine anyone reading or listening to this one and not getting choked up.

We waited a long time for this audiobook. It was worth it, as usual.

The subject of human trafficking is troubling and it’s been the subject of several books lately. Our valiant team of murder detectives has a lot to deal with after a woman’s body is found on the beach following the shipwreck of the fishing boat bringing the trafficked women to the UK.

The familiar characters are back and that’s always good.

As usual, Jonathan Keeble does a masterful job with the narration.

Another good DCI Ryan story

Thank you L. J. Ross for writing this story. Even though the material is harsh , not easy to listen to, you gave it the kind of ending we all hope for in such ugly situations. And thank you Jonathan Keeble for your wonderful narration. This is an excellent team and I thank you both for what you do.

Another great story!
