About this listen

The gripping new Martin Scarsden novel.

She breathes deeply, trying to quell the rising sense of panic. A detective came to her home, drugged her and kidnapped her. She tries to make sense of it, to imagine alternatives, but only one conclusion is possible: it's the past, come to claim her.

Martin Scarsden's new life seems perfect, right up until the moment it's shattered by a voice mail: a single scream, abruptly cut off, from his partner, Mandalay Blonde.

Racing home, he finds an unconscious man sprawled on the floor and Mandy gone. Someone has abducted her. But who and why?

So starts a twisting tale of intrigue and danger, as Martin probes the past of the woman he loves, a woman who has buried her former life so deep she has never mentioned it.

And for the first time, Mandy finds denial impossible; now the body of a mystery man has been discovered, a man whose name she doesn't know, a man she was engaged to marry when he died. It's time to face her demons once and for all; it's time she learned how to trust.

Set in a Sydney riven with corruption and nepotism, privilege and power, Trust is the third riveting novel from award-winning and internationally acclaimed writer Chris Hammer.

Yet another great thriller!

I wonder if some people nervous if a character was based on them! Hmmm I would be!

Not my favourite in the series

This is the 3rd in the Martin Scarsden series… and my least favourite. I missed the bush setting and characters of the previous books.

Great conclusion to the trilogy

Martin Scarsden returns for round three, embroiled in another murder mystery that brings up specters of the past and enemies in the present. As with Scrublands and Silver, Chris captures more than just the imagery of the location, but immerses the reader in the atmosphere of Sydney. I sweated when I walked through River's End and scented the seaside air of Port Silver and this time I shivered through the biting gusts of Sydney in the Winter.
Dorje again breathes life into believable Australian characters, male, female, young or old his performance is engaging and well articulated.
I am looking forward to the next series (Treasure and Dirt) and seeing how Chris makes Ivan Lucic a likable character.

BGY - Bloody Great Yarn!

Chris has become more eloquant with age. His dance with the narrative and prose so smooth I couldn’t put this book down from go to woe? His ability to capture the essence of the Australian environment so succinct and subtle? For me his play with the underbelly of Sydney worked perfectly on so many levels? And that his hero is truth and passion and the word speaks volumes ;-)
