About this listen

An explosive international thriller from the Hollywood legend and British icon Sir Michael Caine.

DCI Harry Taylor has no respect for red tape or political reputations - but he's great at catching criminals.

And all his unorthodox skills will be needed as an extraordinary situation unfolds on his doorstep: a metal box of radioactive material is found at a dump in Stepney, East London, but before the police can arrive it is stolen in a violent raid.

With security agencies across the world on red alert, it's Harry and his unconventional team from the Met who must hit the streets in search of a lead. They soon have two wildly different suspects, aristocratic art dealer Julian Smythe in London and oligarch Vladimir Voldrev in Barbados. But the pressure is on. How much time does Harry have, and how many more players will join the action, before the missing uranium is lighting up the sky?

Deadly Game is a compelling, fast-paced audiobook of international intrigue and twisting suspense from a legendary actor and British icon, who now proves himself to be a first-rate thriller writer.

It is too big a contrast between the depiction of the traditional British detective-type and the unrealistic plot. Just not quite what you’d expect from a mature classic English personality.

A criminal step too far.

The ending a bit unbelievable compared to the rest of the story. Two half siblings of the crime bosses unknown to everyone??

I found this book overly verbose and the continual use of adjectives and adverbs was monotonose. similarly the readers tone hardly varied. very disappointing thought Caine had a better style as per his movies

nice last twist

I found the narrative tended to plod along. Main character, Harry, was formulaic. Normally l reach the end of a crime novel and can’t wait to listen to the next one (Val McDermid and Robert Galbraith) Won’t be looking for another of these.

Struggled to get to the end.
