About this listen

The gripping new race-against-time thriller by the best-selling author of Relentless, The Last 10 Seconds and The Final Minute.

I had a simple choice. Stay here and almost certainly be discovered.

Or get up and run.

The Witness

When Jane Kinnear sees her lover being murdered, she suddenly finds herself in danger. Taken to an anonymous police safe house, it soon becomes clear that her lover was an MI5 informant with important information about an imminent terrorist attack.

The Detective

DI Ray Mason of Counter Terrorism Command is a man with a controversial past, but his effectiveness at getting results means that he's now been given the task of preventing the attack from taking place. But can he be trusted, and does he know more about the attack than he's letting on?

The Killer

In the safe house, Jane is trying to piece together a description of her lover's killer. But what she doesn't know is that the killer has already found out who she is and where she is hiding.

And now he's coming for her....

I was a bit sceptical about this book as I’d read other reviews which weren’t too flattering. Glad I ignored them as the book was really good; dramatic, intense and well read. Great twist and it held ones interest. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it.

This book has benefited from 3 different voices which has made it very interesting to listen to. I love Paul Thornley's readings but I have heard him in several books that the many characters are all beginning to merge into one. The 3 voices really helped. The plot was good with a twist at the end and characters that although are 'almost' believable really made the story swing along. I was sad when this finished but I can sense another book for the maverick cop coming soon - I really hope so.

Really good listen
