Summary
The truth weighs nothing…
Klara Walldeen, orphaned as a child and brought up by her grandparents, is now a political aide in Brussels. And she has just seen something she shouldn't. On the other side of the world, an old spy hides. Once, he was a man so dedicated that he abandoned his daughter. Now the only thing he lives for is swimming. Then Klara is thrown into a terrifying chase through Europe. Only the Swimmer can save her. But time is running out...©2013 Joakim Zander (P)2014 W.F. Howes Ltd

This grabs you from the beginning interweaving the past of 'The Swimmer' with the present of his daughter Klara. It is fast-paced and full of action. I felt the ending was a bit ho-hum but this didn't affect my overall enjoyment.
Initially i found the male narrator hard to listen to - but as his character reveals itself the narration does seem more appropriate but I would strongly suggest listening to the sample, as I am sure not all would enjoy his narration.

Fascinating Thriller
