Summary

When disgraced spy Solomon Vine's friend and rival Gabriel Wilde vanishes without trace, it's only Vine who might be able to discover what has happened to him. A single missing file holds the key. That, too, is gone. But its contents, Vine is told, are incendiary.

There were few Wilde could trust. And being one of them appears to have fatal consequences. But as Vine's off-the-books investigation begins to reveal the shocking truth, he realizes there's much more at stake than one man's life and the reputation of the Secret Intelligence Service....

Good listening

This book moves along very fast and is a great story with a twist at the end. The narrator was excellent and so clear and easy to listen to. This is my first Mathew Richardson book and I have already down loaded another on my kindle. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good old British spy story.

Brilliantly written spy thriller

Gripping, well written and full of nuances which build up nicely to the unexpected finale. So good I listened to it in one go!

Brilliant plotting; superb writing

This gripping spy novel is one of the best I’ve read in years. Matthew Richardson is a wonderful writer and storyteller, weaving a complicated narrative which bowls along with verve and credibility. Thoroughly enjoyable, the prose-style is elegant and compelling. More please!!

Hard going in places

The author clearly knows his subject and I did enjoy his novel The Scarlet Papers. However towards the end this book dragged with all the double and treble think. The narrator is excellent.

Good story,

The ending followed a conventional crisis and resolution. Otherwise well read and potentially a good read.

Fast paced Le Carre type page-turner

One of the things I like about Le Carre is the pace. Its just so slow. These are much more action packed and quick, but quite ingenious and a good listen. If this had been a Le Carre it would have been twice as long. If Len Dieghton three separate books. But I like both and I like this writer. The main character is a really good vehicle and I will read more, but I dont know if he needs to take himself more seriously or whether he is writing for a shorter attention span.

Anyway. Good spy thriller.

Excellent

I thoroughly enjoyed this excellent story & as always, Colin Mace is an excellent narrator.
I did suss the storyline though ... but I guess the reader/listener is supposed to have solved the puzzle before the main character does...? Highly recommend...

Second rate

In short, a spy mystery in which the average reader would work out whodunnit long before the supposedly gifted protagonist.

Really enjoyable spy thriller

I picked this one based on the good reviews and the fact Colin Mace was narrating and I wasn't disappointed - such a captivating thread to the story that I finished it in three days. I don't know much about the world of spy fiction so I can't compare this to much else other than to say if you like something with plenty of intrigue and players and not heavy on gadgets and fighting then you'll enjoy this. I'd recommend this story to anyone.
