Publisher's Summary

An Alex King prequel, set 17 years before The Contract Man.

In the last days before signing the peace agreement, an IRA splinter cell mounts an operation on the British mainland using English criminals. This unprecedented move intrigues MI6, and they assume command of MI5’s surveillance operation.

A career criminal is released from prison and aims to win back the wife and child his sentence has cost him, but before he can, he is forced back into his old world. The stakes have changed, and his family have become leverage for the most ruthless people imaginable.

A woman imprisoned in an abusive relationship, desperate to escape with her son and rekindle her past, becomes the pawn in a deadly world of deception, violence, and retribution.

A clandestine wing of the secret intelligence service tests its newest recruit. Alex King has trained and operated in the shadowy world of intelligence, and now, he must kill for his country, but before he can, he needs to discover more about the men he has been sent to kill.

Narrator spoiled the story

A P Bateman really needs to look a lot deeper into his last two narrator’s as they are not doing justice to his stories
Book one the performance was really good, why change

Poor reading style, unpleasant to my ears.

Do not like this narrator. He seems to talk in statements which makes for tedious listening.
Wouldn't buy an audible book read by him now that I've tried to get through this book.

The worst narrator I have ever heard.

i managed to make it to the 5 minute mark and then smashed the stop button. Don't waste your money.

Substandard narration

I rarely rate an audio book badly but this audio book should be removed from sale because the narration is that bad. You cannot even listen to it. I bought the first two books and loved them. Looking forward to buying and listening to the series but this audio narration is so bad I am sorry to say I am done.
