About this listen
A Warhammer Crime novel.
An investigation into a missing member of a wealthy family leads Probator Agusto Zidarov into a web of lies and danger amidst the criminal cartels of Varangantua. As the net closes in, Zidarov falls further into darkness from which he may never return....
Listen to it because: take a step into the murky underworld of the 41st Millennium through the eyes of a lawman in a gargantuan city whose investigation leads him into darkness and danger.
The story: in the immense city of Varangantua, life is cheap, but mistakes are expensive. When Probator Agusto Zidarov of the city’s enforcers is charged with locating the missing scion of a wealthy family, he knows full well that the chances of finding him alive are slight. The people demanding answers, though, are powerful and ruthless, and he is soon immersed in a world of criminal cartels and corporate warfare where even an enforcer’s survival is far from guaranteed. As he follows the evidence deeper into the city’s dark underbelly, he discovers secrets that have been kept hidden by powerful hands. As the net closes in on both him and his quarry, he is forced to confront just what measures some people are willing to take in order to stay alive....
Written by Chris Wraight. Narrated by Charles Armstrong.

Noir 40K detective
Cliched, but still brilliant. A great look into the civilian world of Warhammer 40,000.
We get the setting lives it's tagline of, There is Only War, but in an Empire of over a million world's, not every world in embroiled in the fires of humanities eternal conflict. The author manages to be incredibly descriptive with the setting. A joy to listen too.

Great insight into the life of a Hive-city
Surprisingly, a crime novel placed in the Galaxy M42 was not a bad idea.
The tension, the characters, the intrigue - everything works well both as a 40k novel and as a stand-alone book.
The protagonist is complex. He is not perfect both as an officer and as a person, but he is believable, flawed enough to be a human.
The overall plot is quite interesting and some twists might make you whisper: “Holy Throne of Terra!”
I like how the novel asks very interesting questions both from in-universe and IRL perspectives: faith, children, corruption, inequality, even a midlife crisis! And the author doesn’t give you definitive answer letting you to choose where you stand.
The weakest point is performance. It is not bad, but also nothing to write home about either.
Still, this is a great novel, and if you like an old good fashioned detective read you won’t be disappointed.

amazing writing, and fantastic narration
You won't be disappointed with this book. If you, like me, love 40K novels set in civilian settings, then this will tickle your brain in a great way. A typical whodunit, but set In a great world. The narration is simply brilliant.

A refreshing change of perspective
A great set of characters and setting for an unraveling conspiracy. One of the more grounded and interesting 40K stories in a while. More of that please!

Just really good.
I want more of this. The look into the common people of the 40k universe is very full of potential stories and could just keep going and going. I could listen to this kind of stuff on and on. Please give us more!

think on crime
more a look into life for imperial citizens than 40k advertising for new units. pretty grimey and good crime drama that makes you feel like sci fi world with 40k theme than a 40k story. no space marines or the like in this bad boy.
I really enjoyed the feel of this book and makes you realize how lucky we are not to be in the 40k world. even 2020 isn't as grim as this book ! I will buy a follow up or another book in this series.
