Publisher's Summary

The third book in Charles Cumming’s gripping new thriller series surrounding BOX 88 – a covert intelligence organization that operates below the radar.

*SUNDAY TIMES THRILLER OF THE MONTH*

*FINANCIAL TIMES THRILLER OF THE YEAR*

*WATERSTONES BEST ESPIONAGE THRILLERS OF 2023*

1995: In the wake of the Rwandan genocide, 24-year-old spy Lachlan Kite and his girlfriend, Martha Raine, are sent to Senegal on the trail of a hunted war criminal. The mission threatens to spiral out of control, forcing Kite to make choices that will have devastating consequences not only for his career at top-secret intelligence agency BOX 88, but also for his relationship with Martha.

2023: Eric Appiah, an old friend from Kite’s days at school and an off-the-record BOX 88 asset, makes contact with explosive information about what happened all those years ago in West Africa. When tragedy strikes, Kite must use all his resources to bring down a criminal network with links to international terror … and protect Martha from possible assassination.

Great story, absolutely HORRIBLE narration

Good story. The AI quality to the narration was really distracting and hard to listen to - why do that? The inflections were off the mark and it sounded like a badly dubbed international film where the voice doesn't match the lips. Which is a shame because the narrator has a nice voice and the previous books were good ;-)

Focuses on a little known slice of history.

Liked the coverage of history re Rwanda. This one adds to the Box 88 series quite well. Events are a bit slow and complex in detail but resolved rapidly at the end. Quite a change of pace at the end.
