Summary

Special low price for a limited period to discover Paul Finch’s debut crime novel.

Time’s up. You’re Next.

"All he had to do was name the woman he wanted. It was that easy. They would do all the hard work."

Detective Sergeant Mark 'Heck' Heckenburg is investigating the disappearance of 38 different women. Each one was happy and successful until they vanished without a trace.

Desperate to find her missing sister, Lauren Wraxford seeks out Heck’s help. Together they enter a seedy underworld of gangsters and organised crime.

But when they hear rumours about the so-called 'Nice Guys Club' they hit a brick wall. They're the gang that no one will talk about. Because the Nice Guys can arrange anything you want. Provided you pay the price…

Dark, terrifying and unforgettable. Stalkers will keep fans of Stuart MacBride and Katia Lief looking over their shoulder.

Critic reviews

“Edge-of-the-seat reading…Heck is formidable – a British Alex Cross.” THE SUN

“Wonderfully dark and peppered with grim humour. Finch is a born storyteller and writes with the authentic voice of the ex-copper he is.” PETER JAMES

"An ingenious and original plot. Compulsive reading.” RACHEL ABBOTT

“A deliciously twisted and fiendish set of murders and a great pairing of detectives.” STAV SHEREZ

“Avon’s big star…part edge-of-the-seat, part hide-behind-the-sofa! An excellent series.” THE BOOKSELLER

“An explosive thriller that will leave you completely hooked on Heck.” WE LOVE THIS BOOK

Great listen!!!

Brilliant, 1st ever audio book, can't wait to start the next one. highly recommend Paul Finch and the D.S Heckenburg thrillers. very well narrated by Paul Thornley, couple of dodgy regional accents in parts but overall that can be forgiven. Great listen!!

Decent enough story but could do with editing

I chose this book because I like Paul Thornley's narration. He seems to choose the "easy listening" kind of books that are good for commuting. Another reviewer mentioned that the narration was monotonous but I disagree. The story was somewhat farfetched but still intriguing enough to listen to the end. I did, however, get the feeling that the publishers possibly put pressure on authors to populate these kind of thrillers with good looking characters who are inevitably attracted to each other even though this adds nothing to the narrative. Or perhaps the author thinks it would be easier to sell the book? Either way, I wish they would stop and just stick to telling a good story.

Read book one and become addicted!

Would you consider the audio edition of Stalkers to be better than the print version?

Right from the start you are drawn into the story. Through the series of books, you can not stop yourself from buying them all, you bond with the characters.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Heck, because of anything goes wrong, and of course it does, he always comes out right at the end.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

When Heck finally gets the bad guy.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Oh Yes. Listened through the night and then bought the series!

Any additional comments?

Good British Detective books are thin on the ground - it was a pleasure to find Paul Finch.

engrossing

a well written police thriller, if at times a little credulous, always remember it's fiction and you'll thoroughly enjoy it. Liked the ending it leaves you wanting a question answered. Good narration didn't bore you on a one dimensional tone as is so often of late
