You can run. You can hide. But you can't escape…

Jonathan Hale is terrified. The wealthy property lawyer and money launderer is back home in Surrey after a nightmare experience in a U.S. jail. The police have him under secret surveillance.

But Hales's fears lie elsewhere. His plea bargain has earned him the enmity of The Reptile, a notoriously cold-hearted gangster, now confined for life in a maximum-security jail in Arizona thanks to Hale. He's taken precautions, moved house, hidden his identity and installed security for his wife and family. But still… what if The Reptile escapes?

For DCI Gillard it should be just another week at work. But before long he is involved in a desperate manhunt that will test him to his very limits.

Be prepared.

Strap yourself in for an intense and unforgettable crime thriller that won't let go, perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Cara Hunter and Mark Billingham.

Louth once again proves his plotting and writing genius. He also managed to use the pandemic as a practical plot device. Superb narration too.

The Best of the Series

Great storyline a little scary with social media & teenager girls, had you hanging on every word towards the end. Narration was fantastic as usual.

Good all around. I enjoyed listening as I traveled. It was hard to turn off.

Great listen

I’ve listened to all of the Gillard books and I enjoyed every minute. The only character I didn’t like was Sam - but that was more the tone of her “voice” rather than her character.

Very tense, scary, frightening and unable to stop listening.
