About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

English crime novelist Charles Latimer is travelling in Istanbul when he makes the acquaintance of Turkish police inspector Colonel Haki. It is from him that he first hears of the mysterious Dimitrios - an infamous master criminal, long wanted by the law, whose body has just been fished out of the Bosphorus.

Fascinated by the story, Latimer decides to retrace Dimitrios' steps across Europe to gather material for a new book. But, as he gradually discovers more about his subject's shadowy history, fascination tips over into obsession. And, in entering Dimitrios' criminal underworld, Latimer realises that his own life may be on the line.

Read it many years ago. Enjoyed it just as much this time around. its amazing how "the more things change, the more they stay the same".

As topical today as it was at time of writing.

So little happens in this book I was surprised I was still engaged- but Anthony Howell’s reading was brilliant, and pulls you through to the end if the story.

The voice got me to the end.
