About this listen

Thirteen years ago, surgeon Edward Hammond performed a life-saving operation on Serbian gangster Dragan Gazi. Now Gazi is standing trial for war crimes at the international court in The Hague. After Hammond saved his life, Gazi's men went on to slaughter thousands in the Balkan civil wars.

Now, in exchange for keeping Hammond's dirty little secret, Gazi's family want a small favour: to find the man who knows what happened to Gazi's money. But Italian financier Marco Piravani doesn't want to be found. And no sooner has Hammond tracked him down than he disappears again. Hammond has no choice but to set off across Europe in pursuit.

In Blood Count, every action has a consequence and every question must have an answer. Only then might Hammond be able to lay the past to rest...

This is one of Robert Goddard's best novels, which is saying a lot. It's a real page-turner, but as usual with Goddard, there's a flawed hero who is faced with a terrible moral dilemma. In this case, it's related to the genocide in Bosnia and other states of the former Yugoslavia.
The reader is absolutely fantastic, one of the best I've ever heard. He can do any accent, and he's required to imitate many in this book. Having such a brilliant reader makes a big difference!
