About this listen

Winter returns to face the most feared hitman of all time, the Guardsman.

Winter has put the world of organised crime into crisis by unmasking its boss, Alek Konstantin. Hunted and permanently on the run, he has been caught on camera in Mexico, Virginia and Marseille. Retracing his steps, Winter attempts to uncover his motives and bring the world's most wanted man out of hiding using the tracker he embedded in her wrist. But things aren't quite that simple. After finding Lucy and watching her die a sickening death, Winter's desire to bring down the legendary Guardsman overrides her orders. Knowing Firestorm’s top contract killer is experimenting on victims, she takes a contract out on herself to catch him.

Once again disguised as her alter ego, Snow White, Winter follows the Guardsman to Moscow expecting to spring the trap. However, things aren't quite what they seem. Who is the Guardsman and why does he know everything about Winter? With the reality of the situation unravelling as the world’s leaders assemble in London, just how much has Winter underestimated her opponent and is the realisation all too late?

Winter faces her biggest challenge yet in this dark commentary on our surveillance society.

What the critics say

"If you like Becky Sharp or Emma Peel or Lisbeth Salander, you will love Winter: she can out-punch Bourne and out-pull Bond. And her zinging one-liners leave Jack Reacher for dead." (Andy Martin, author of Reacher Said Nothing and With Child.

Another Wild Winter Ride

I'm enjoying this series way too much. I've listened to hundreds of audiobooks. As a narrator Ell Potter is surpassed only by Michael Sheehan reading Philip Pullman’s latest Lyra books. She is mesmerizing.

I would mention though that anytime a major character is referred to only by name and never by pronoun, it sends up a red flag, not to say a red herring!

Highly recommended--what fun!

Worth listening to.

Very good story. Some of it was predictable but enough surprises to keep it interesting, and I had to be willing to suspend belief at times, but no more than with every Bond or Bourne story. The vivid descriptions of the sexual encounters were unnecessary, could have been done more tastefully.

really enjoying this series

First off the narrator does an amazing job. The story moves at a good pace and keeps you engaged. As a truck driver I have 10 hours everyday to fill. normally a third of that will be audio books. it's been closer to 3rds during this series.

almost as good as the 1st book.

I found this story very compelling. I wasn't sure book 2 could keep pace, but the story and characters were excellent.
