About this listen

Detective Philip ‘Cato' Kwong is investigating the death of a retiree found hacked to pieces in his suburban Perth home. The trail leads to Timor-Leste, with its recent blood-soaked history. There, he reunites with an old frenemy, the spook Rory Driscoll who, in Cato's experience, has always occupied a hazy moral terrain.

Resourceful, multilingual, and hard as nails, Rory has been Canberra's go-to guy when things get sticky in the Asia-Pacific. Now Rory wants out. But first he's needed to chaperone a motley group of whistleblowers with a price on their heads. And there's one on his, too.

‘A first-rate thriller and one of the year's best books.' CANBERRA WEEKLY

‘It is an unputdownable thriller from one of an award-winning Australian crime author.' BOFFINS BOOKS

This is a good story, believable characters, twists and turns, suspense and action. And a slice of our little known history.

But the reading is dreadful, i was prepared to abandon it until inctreased the soeed to 1.2.
without the speed increase it is slow, ponderous, toneless, contains multiple mispronunciation and a weird tempo with the emphasis in all the wrong places.

increase the speed to enjoy this good book
