About this listen

The pulse-pounding thriller from Richard & Judy and Zoe Ball Book Club author, Tony Kent.

The enemies aren’t at the gate – they’re already inside.

When controversial US presidential candidate Dale Victor is killed in a plane explosion, along with hundreds of other passengers, it appears to be a clear-cut case of terrorism. The suspect has even confessed to the bombing. But as criminal barrister Michael Devlin is about to discover, everything is not as it seems.

Also suspecting there are other forces at work, intelligence agent Joe Dempsey is driven to investigate. Who would have wanted Victor out of the way – and would commit mass murder to do it? As the evidence begins to mount, everything seems to point to the very top of the US government. And now someone is determined to stop Dempsey and Devlin from discovering the truth. At any cost.

With countless more lives on the line, together Dempsey and Devlin must find a way to prove who’s really pulling the strings and free the White House from the deadly grip that has taken hold of power.

Another belter!

Pacey, intriguing and addictive I love that this author is so loyal to the characters, each time ensuring that he doesn’t sell out or prostitute their personas to broaden readerships. Instead you’ve got what’s forming into the promise of a really long running series. There’s some real bravery in the subject matter but it remains respectful. We can’t all like the same things and you can never please everyone that’s for sure but I think these have all ingredients of real best sellers. More please.

Great story, but

The narrator puts a lot of effort into all the different accents which distracts from the story. His American accents are truly awful. Black Hork helicopter? He does Scottish, Northern and Southern Irish, not to mention London English though not Cockney. I wish he would drop all the imitations and focus on the story which he reads well.

Outrageous!

Another gripping story by Kent, if a little slow to crank up the gears. The whole premise was outrageous but somehow believable and the denouement a little contrived. Nevertheless a good read, albeit the narrator’s Scottish accent was dreadful - he’s much better with the Irish ones!
