About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The new high-octane thriller from Sunday Times best-selling author Simon Kernick.

Alastair Sheridan has it all. Wealth, good looks, a beautiful wife and children and, in the chaotic world of British politics, a real chance of becoming prime minister.

But Alastair also has a secret. He’s a serial killer with a taste for young women.

Only a handful of people know what kind of monster he is, and disgraced detective Ray Mason is one of them.

Awaiting trial for murder, Ray is unexpectedly broken free by armed men and given an offer: assassinate Alastair Sheridan and begin a new life abroad with a new identity. The men claim to be from MI6. They say that Sheridan is a threat to national security and needs to be neutralised. Ray knows they are not who they say they are and that their real motives are far darker.

The only person Ray trusts is ex-cop and former lover Tina Boyd, who’s keen to settle her own scores with Sheridan.

With enemies on every side, only one thing is certain.

No one wants them to get out alive.

Critic reviews

"Simon Kernick is one of the most reliable purveyors of the edge-of-your-seat thriller...a more powerful adrenaline rush than an EpiPen." (Jake Kerridge, Sunday Express)

"An emotionally punchy domestic noir blended with the pace and action of a high-octane thriller, We Can See You will keep you breathlessly on the edge of your seat, wondering which character you can trust, if any at all, until the final brilliant twist! A #WTFthatending indeed!" (Sarah Pinborough, author of Behind Her Eyes and Cross Her Heart)

"A pacy thriller, with a body count that rises along with the tension levels." (Sunday Mirror)

Not for faint- hearted ...

Despite normally avoiding content such as graphic murders or torture of sexual nature , I have to admit I was absorbed by this book. Shocking in places, but a thrilling story line. Unpredictable & worth a read

Classic thriller with twists and turns

First of all let me say that Paul Thornley who narrates this audio book, is in my opinion one of the best , and books read by him are always in my virtual library. The book will not disappoint. I have had a couple of mediocre audio books recently and this has been a welcome change. The Bone Field which I think is the book before this should be read before but isn't essential. Give it a try, it's a great thriller with a fast pace.

Couldn't wait to listen!

Loved the Bone Field and the Hanged Man and couldn't wait to start this one. This concluding book is just as pacey and full of suspense right from the start. Even though I wanted to find out what happened, I was sad to finish it. The narrator is great and keeps you involved in the story with realistically voiced characters. You won't be disappointed!

Fantastic Series

I love when I get a book and can’t stop listening.
I read all Simon Kernick’s earlier novels, but switched to audible when I heard Paul Thornley’s narration. This was an excellent ending to a fantastic series.
