About this listen

The latest high-stakes spy thriller from master of the genre Dan Fesperman transports the listener to Paris and Hamburg, and deep into the conspiracy behind the 9/11 attacks.

Paris, October 1999. CIA agent Claire Saylor is looking after low-level surveillance ops. Her career has stalled after a misguided dalliance with her handler Paul Bridger - so when Bridger asks Claire to join a team, she prepares herself for a stint on tea duties. But in fact, he's finally put her back in the game. She'll be going undercover as the wife of Professor Winston Armitage - an expert in the Quran and its translations. He's presenting his controversial new theory on the fabled promise of 72 virgins for each martyr and needs protection.

But when Claire arrives in Hamburg, it soon becomes clear that this is no routine protection job: she's there to uncover a conspiracy that will lead to the 9/11 terror attacks. And if she blows her cover, she could lose her life...

Well prepared story and plot, but let down by the reading performance. Just didn’t seem right to me. The reader’s style and presentation might suit some lower level crime thriller but didn’t suit this story. There was no drama in the presentation consistent with the plot. Others might view it differently but the presentation was disappointing.

Uninspiring reading performance
