About this listen

Alex Locke is a reformed ex-con forced into London's criminal underworld for one more job.

He agrees to steal a priceless artefact - a human heart carved from the blackest obsidian - but when the burglary goes horribly wrong, Alex is plunged into the nightmarish world of the Wolves of London, unearthly assassins who will stop at nothing to reclaim the heart.

As he races to unlock the secrets of the mysterious object, Alex must learn to wield its dark power - or be destroyed by it.

Critic Reviews

"Mark Morris is a stellar talent, equally able to touch the heart and chill the spine. He has a maestro's gift of weaving subtlety and brutality into the perfect symphony. If you haven't read him before, now's the time!" (Christopher Golden, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Snowblind)
"A new novel from Morris is always cause for celebration, and this first in a brand new trilogy ushers in his greatest, most complex and compelling work yet." (Tim Lebbon, New York Times best-selling author of Coldbrook)
"Mark Morris is one of the best horror writers we have. If you re not reading him, you're missing out" (Michael Marshall Smith, New York Times best-selling author of The Intruders)

Don't bother trying to work out what is going on because it turns out nothing is going on. Like a horror film that relies on nothing but jump scares this "story" is nothing but unrelated events linked by not so shocking twists that go nowhere before ending on a cliffhanger that was more moderately annoying slope than actual cliff. I got this because I like fantasy and I like London. Unfortunately there is very little London in the book (it could have been any city) and the fantasy was anything but fantastic.

Plot, we don't need a stinking plot
