Can evil be unmasked before it's too late . . . ?

A REPORTER WITH NO FEAR

1979. Jaded Edinburgh journalist Neil Bannerman is sent to Europe, intent on digging up dirt. Yet it is danger he discovers, when two British men are found murdered.

A CHILD WITH NO FATHER

One victim is a journalist, the other a Cabinet Minister: the double-assassination witnessed by the former's autistic daughter. This girl recalls every detail about her father's killer - except for one.

Early Peter May A Winner

I was a bit worried that this early book wouldn’t be as good as more recent work but decided to trust May’s own judgement. I wasn’t disappointed. That evocative style of writing was evident as always. A central character who is flawed and not easy to like but whose tale still draws you in and keeps you enthralled to the end. Thoroughly enjoyable

A writer who improved with time

As a recent release of one of Mays original publications, it is obvious his writing skills got better over time.... I found this a bit of round and round story trying to find its conclusion. But the literary skills of May and the narration of Forbes Still held me til the end

Overall, worth listening to

I really enjoyed the story for the most part. An interesting setting, an interesting time and a riveting plot.
I felt that it got a little melodramatic at the end, but that did not detract from a great performance of a good story.

Political Corruption Never Changes

All humans have faults, but mostly we struggle against our faults to become more caring people. In the world of politics that process seems to get turned on it’s head, people go in with high ideals and the system relentlessly lures them into corruption. Same applies to the media. Beautifully illustrated in this narrative.

Early work. Skip this & go to his better stuff

Audible is making it hard to return this book. So much for their touted policy cy of one click returns.
