About this listen
Bury your enemies, and bury them deep.
John Milton thought he was done with Avi Bachman. The most dangerous man he's ever known has been incarcerated in Angola, the brutal Louisiana prison. Inmates rarely leave Angola. Once you go in, the only way out is in a box. But Bachman is no ordinary prisoner. He was an assassin for the Mossad, and he has favours to call in.
Milton is in the Australian outback with an old friend and his flirtatious kid sister, looking for a summer’s peace to put his troubled mind to rest. But Bachman has other plans. He thinks that Milton killed his wife, and now he wants revenge.
From Australia to Israel, from Hong Kong to Croatia, here is the conclusion of this brutal chapter in Milton’s life. The two headhunters are on a collision course, and only one of them will walk away. Don’t start this audiobook in bed - you will lose sleep.
Mark Dawson has worked as a lawyer and currently works in the London film industry. His first books, The Art of Falling Apart and Subpoena Colada have been published in multiple languages. He is currently writing three series.
The John Milton series features a disgruntled assassin who aims to help people to make amends for the things he has done.
The Beatrix Rose series features the headlong fight for justice of a wronged mother - who happens to be an assassin - against the six names on her kill list.
Soho Noir is set in the West End of London between 1940 and 1970. The first book in the series, The Black Mile, deals with the (real-life but little-known) serial killer who operated in the area during the Blitz. The Imposter traces the journey of a criminal family through the period; it has been compared to The Sopranos in austerity London.

Ah! Mr Dawson, you have written a beaut one!!
Well we have moved to Australia, in John Milton's attempts to stay out off the official radar. However, a former foe has unfinished business, with out beleaguered hero.
I hate to give a great storyline away, but I will advise that this perhaps the best of this series, yet. Perhaps I am prejudiced, having a lot of the action in my backyard.

Great read but pretty unbelievable even for Milton!
Great read as usual although the story is way more far fetched than previous Milton novels. A few funny things I picked up that wouldn't be true in Australia but only knew that because I am Australian. You don't peel off 1 dollars from a roll of bills here. Really liked most of characters and characterisations though the Aussie accents weren't flash, great and gripping even if it is more than a bit unbelievable.

Full on Action and emotiona
I didn't want to stop listening to this book. Often spent a few extra minutes listening before leaving the car for work.
Sometimes the behaviours of the main characters a bit silly but overall a great book to listen to. No shortage of action!
Recommend you have a listen.

Never let the facts about a location or a decent accent get in the way of an ‘OK’ story
[spoiler alert for those that have not read the book summary!]
I confess I am Australian and have spent a lot of my life in at least one of the places featured in this Milton episode.
Perhaps it is because I am so familiar with the location that a number of factual errors did immediate ‘leap out’. I understand the concept of ‘artistic licence’, but when actual places, locations, street names etc are used, one would perhaps expect them to be accurately described. (But who knows - this may have occurred in the earlier books, but I was none the wiser!).
With the availability of so much information on the internet which could be used for research purposes it seems strange that such bungles were made. One particular clanger was a reference to a $2 note - these were phased out in 1988, some 25 years before this story was set!
And speaking of clangers David Thorpe is one of the main reasons I have persevered with this series so far, but his Australian accents unfortunately leave a lot to be desired.
I will continue my journey with Milton, but so far most of the books only rate a 3/5, whereas I can highly recommend both the Beatrix and Isabelle Rose series.
