About this listen

Father. Husband. Hitman. He lost it all - he'll kill to get it back.

Perfect listen for fans of Breaking Bad and Stephen King.

*GUARDIAN BEST CRIME AND THRILLER BOOKS OF 2022*

*SHORTLISTED FOR THE BEST NOVEL PRIZE AT THE 2023 EDGAR AWARDS*

'Sometimes God is your copilot, but it's the Devil who takes you home.'

It was never just a job. Becoming a hitman was the only way Mario could cover his young daughter's medical expenses. But before long his family is left in pieces, and he's barely even put a dent in the stack of bills.

Then he's presented with an offer: one last score that will either pull him out of poverty forever or put a bullet in the back of his skull. A man named Juanca needs help stealing $2 million dollars from a drug cartel.

Together, they begin a journey to an underworld where unspeakable horrors happen every day. He's a man with nothing to lose, but the Devil is waiting for him.

Wrestling with demons of our world and beyond, this blistering thriller charts the unforgettable quest of a husband and father in search of his lost soul.

Visual writing, with a great story

I didn’t think the voice suited the story, needed to be darker and more sinister in tone as opposed to just reading the page….
