About this listen

Praised for their riveting, ingenious plot twists, John Lawton's series of espionage thrillers featuring Chief Inspector Frederick Troy of Scotland Yard have an uncanny ability to place readers in the thick of history.

Now an old flame has returned to Troy's life: Kitty Stilton, wife of an American presidential hopeful. Private eye Joey Rork has been hired to make sure Kitty's amorous liaisons with a rat pack crooner don't ruin her husband's political career. But he also wants to know why Kitty has been spotted with Danny Ryan, whose twin brothers, in addition to owning one of London's hottest jazz clubs, are said to have inherited the crime empire of fallen mobster Alf Marx. Before Rork can find out, he meets a gruesome end. And he isn't the only one: bodies have started turning up around London, dismembered in the same bizarre and horrifying way. Is it possible that the blood trail leads back to Troy's own police force and into Troy's own forgotten past?

This compulsively listenable thriller finds one of our most able storytellers at the height of his game.

Another good listen.

The start seemed slow and uneventful. However it picked up and kept me listening. Looking forward for my next inspector Troy novel. Another fine performance by Lewis Hancock.

Well written but…

I don’t think this is my kind of book. It is well written, and has some bits of humour in it, which I enjoyed. The plot was less than enthralling, and I really didn’t feel a connection with any of the characters in the book. I thought the protagonist was kind of a dick;’many references that were very English, which totally escaped me not a fault of the book but mine.
