National Book Awards 2014: Crime/Thriller Book of the Year

Can you commit the perfect crime?

Pilgrim is the code name for a man who doesn't exist. The adopted son of a wealthy American family, he once headed up a secret espionage unit for US intelligence. Before he disappeared into anonymous retirement, he wrote the definitive book on forensic criminal investigation. But that book will come back to haunt him. It will help NYPD detective Ben Bradley track him down. And it will take him to a run-down New York hotel room where the body of a woman is found facedown in a bath of acid, her features erased, her teeth missing, her fingerprints gone. It is a textbook murder - and Pilgrim wrote the book.

What begins as an unusual and challenging investigation will become a terrifying race against time to save America from oblivion. Pilgrim will have to make a journey from a public beheading in Mecca to a deserted ruin on the Turkish coast via a Nazi death camp in Alsace and the barren wilderness of the Hindu Kush in search of the faceless man who would commit an appalling act of mass murder in the name of his god.

This is now the entire audiobook, not in two parts.

Where is this leading?

From known to unknown and back again, enough facts to make it real and a story that weaves in and out, Terry Hayes has taken the geo-political reality with which we are familiar and entwined within it a minefield of a murder mystery, a terrorist plot and meticulous, intelligent and intuitive investigators to deliver a non-stop ride. A thriller to lose yourself in. Read it - you won't be disappointed.

Loved this story and a great narrator

I love how it got straight into the story. Despite being 22 hours long I was glad of it as it was fast paced and the narrator was brilliant. I wanna see the movie!

Amazing thriller!

What an amazing book. Incredibly relevant at the moment. Well worth a read from someone who doesn't read thrillers regularly.

Amazing!

This book went off on so many tangents so it was difficult to keep track of where it was going. However it all came together in the end to tell an amazing story! Thoroughly enjoyed!!!

Good, original story and well written

A pleasure to read a spy/detective book that’s original and engaging.
Thought the narrator read well, although his voice seemed a little young for the role.

Tantalizingly gripping.

The best book I've ever listened to. The writing is incredible, taking you on a maze of a journey with many twists and turns. You feel as if you are there every step of the way. A superb piece of writing and plot, together with an outstanding performance from the reader. It's a longgg book but you never want to end and I had tears in my eyes when it did. I would recommend this book to everyone, particularly if thrillers, crime, spy... novels are your thing.
