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.

Do not purchase

Shut the book off and requested a refund. This narrator makes it very hard to listen to.

Sounds like AI reading it

Great story but the reader sounds like a robot, so different from the other audiobooks

A good story

Sadly the narration made it only listenable in bits. A good story better read than listened to.

Awful narration

Narrator read like a second grader. Embarrassing for Audible. Clearly someone skipped the due diligence here.

Terrible narrator!

The narrator was horrible. Speaks in short sentences. Really annoying to listen to. Please don’t use him again
