About this listen

When you sell your soul, the devil gives no refunds....

When an old man is burned alive in a sleepy ex-mining village, Detective Chief Inspector Ryan is called in to investigate. He soon discovers that, beneath the facade of a close-knit community, the burn from decades-old betrayal still smoulders. When everyone had a motive, can he unravel the secrets of the past before the killer strikes again?

Meanwhile, back at Northumbria CID, trouble is brewing with rumours of a mole in Ryan’s department. With everyone under suspicion, can he count on anybody but himself?

Murder and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunnit set amidst the spectacular Northumbrian landscape.

This book was slow in the beginning, then the spicy bits came. then in the middle to me was a little boring. At the end of the book it went from slow to exciting. It contains all the usual sexy bits, sad and upsetting situations the romance and smart moments.
A very good mixture. love all the characters.

Fantastic instalment in the series

With a terrific blend of gritty realism, a compelling subplot and a conclusion both satisfying and human, this stands out as one of my favourite DCI Ryan novels so far.

Whether it's macabre, pulse-pounding action, heart-stopping tragedy, gentle humour, romance or just that Friday night mystery you're after, LJ Ross is outstanding not only in crime fiction, but in modern literature.
