Publisher's Summary

From one of the UK's biggest crime writers - the man who brought you the best-selling Inspector McLean novels - comes a phenomenal new series guaranteed to have your heart in your mouth.

Undercover ops are always dangerous, but DC Constance Fairchild never expected things to go this wrong.

Returning to their base of operations, an anonymous office in a shabby neighbourhood, she finds the bloodied body of her boss and friend, DI Pete Copperthwaite. He's been executed - a single shot to the head.

In the aftermath, it seems someone in the Met is determined to make sure that blame for the wrecked operation falls squarely on Con's shoulders. She is cut loose and cast out, angry and alone with her grief...right until the moment someone also tries to put a bullet through her head.

There's no place to hide and no time to cry.

Narration a problem for me

I loved James Oswald’s Inspector McLean series so very excited when I saw he had a new series.
My enjoyment of this was marred by the narrator who I found dreadful and very hard to listen to. Everything from exciting to parts sad parts and everything in between was just delivered in a monotone way which failed to involve me as a listener. In the end I just gritted my teeth and got through it. But others have loved the narrator so it is obviously a personal preference. I’ll read the next in the series as I can’t bear to listen to Rose again.

Truly cringeworthy narration.

Very polished, private school girl diction, all teddibly, teddibly prim and perfect, just does not suit the F-bomb every third sentence. I love James Oswald's Inspector McLean series but I won't be buying any more Constance Fairchild audiobooks. It was painful to listen to.
