Publisher's Summary

Mark Sanderson does for the '30s what Jake Arnott did for '60s London – vividly revealing its hidden underworld in an unforgettably gripping crime novel.

"Friday, 18 December, 1936. I went to my funeral this morning…." So begins the diary of Johnny Steadman, an ambitious reporter on London's Fleet Street. When he gets a tip-off about a Snow Hill policeman's death, he thinks he's found the scoop that will make his career. Trouble is, no-one at the station seems to know anything about it...or they're not telling.

Johnny's one lead takes him to the meat market at Smithfield, where he encounters violent death close up and personal. Undaunted by this chilling message, his investigation drags him deep into a web of corruption that reaches further than he could ever have imagined.

Johnny must risk everything to save his closest friend and expose the ruthless killer at the heart of this dark story. But to bring them to justice he must first go undercover. Six feet undercover. After all, a dead man cannot be tried for murder….

OMG! Can it get any better?

Wow! Snow Hill has it all. Corrupt police, rent boys, murder, nosy newspaper reporters and a lot of action to keep you listening. I started listening to the book thinking that it would be for just for a short while; 3:25am I stopped listening. From start to finish I just had to find out what was going to happen next. Good thing I can catch forty winks next day. I will say that I was surprised at how much language there was, which didn't detract from the story at all, in fact, if it hadn't been in, the dialogue would have been rather tame.
I have a list of my favourite narrators and Jonathan Keeble is right there on top of my list. His characterizations are just the best. He makes the listener feel as if they are walking alongside each character...and boy, there are some characters in this book. It get's my seal of approval and can't wait to listen to The Whispering Gallery.
