About this listen

An unexplained death.

The discovery of a horribly mutilated corpse launches FBI Agent Rose Blake into a puzzling investigation. The victim was alone at home with no signs of forced entry. Who - or what - burnt him to death?

The game begins.

Strips of rubber melted to the body emerge as evidence that the victim was wearing The Skin, an innovation that takes users deep into a virtual world.

Escape or die....

When a body with identical wounds is discovered, Rose realises that in the darkest corners of the Dark Web, a brutal killer is playing a deadly game. A game with no rules - and no mercy. To stop it, Rose must play too....

Critic Reviews

"This fast, furious, twisty thriller kept me on the edge of my seat." (Chris Ryan)
"If Stephen King had collaborated with Michael Crichton on a thriller, it might have been as good as this." ( Peterborough Evening Telegraph)

I kept ploughing through this novel, hoping it would grab my attention but I finally gave up. Too many chapters to wade through with little enjoyment. The story is interesting but too long and the repetitive emphasis on the description of the cell phones and smart phone is tedious.
I don't need a description of each phone i.e. "she picked up her smart phone". Well aren't most of them today.
Too much detail and far too long to get to the action.
Not recommended.
Is the co-author really the Simon Scarrow who wrote so many brilliant novels?
