About this listen

A secret kept for a thousand years....

After the dramatic theft of a priceless artefact from Durham Cathedral, the rest of the world believes that DCI Ryan and his team were able to recover and return St Cuthbert's cross to its rightful home. But Ryan knows the cross he recovered was a fake - far from being over, their problems are only just beginning....

Just as Ryan and his team begin to unravel the truth behind the spate of mysterious thefts, something even more priceless is stolen - something that can never be replaced.

As the nationwide manhunt continues without success, Ryan is thrust into despair-until he realises the answer lies not in modern policing, but in an age-old secret known only to a chosen few. To recover what's been lost, he must first crack 'Cuthbert's Code', following the trail of a long-dead saint across the wild, unpredictable hills and valleys of the borderlands.

Can Ryan find what he's looking for, before it's too late?

He's going to need a miracle....

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

Cuthbert’s Way

Very well narrated as always. He brings the characters to life brilliantly and very realistically.

Such an exciting finish

The history is fantastic for someone who has never visited England and how it fits in the story. And at the same time the personal characters of Ryan and Anna is so real that I was crying at the end as Ryan saves her life

always something new to learn!

I really enjoyed learning more about cultural hero's of the North East again - this time St Cuthbert. But then, Ross always does such thorough research before writing the Ryan books, and all others, that the didactic offshoots are always so valuable.
Good story, well written and, as always, well performed!

Gripping

Suspenseful and interesting, with a fascinating historical twist. A worthy continuation of the DCI Ryan story.

Disappointing

This series was great when it was 80% crime mystery/20% characters. Now the ratio is the other way around. Too much touchy-feely for me...

Oh what a load of romantic rubbish

This book made me want to vomit. Such a load of claptrap …..all that romantic talk is so much sillyness. So untrue to life.
