About this audiobook
A city united in grief. A journalist ready to kill to keep his secrets. A copper capable of darker deeds than murderers. An unworldly detective fighting to save an innocent man.
Newly appointed DS McAvoy is an outsider to his new force and must confront his darkest fears, while hunting a killer that nobody else believes in. In a landscape at once tender and brutal, McAvoy must tread the path between the darkness and the light, before facing an enemy who will brand him for life.
Reviewers on David Mark: 'Dark, compelling crime writing of the highest order' Daily Mail
'Brilliantly written – a cracking story' Richard Madeley, Richard and Judy Book Club
'Truly exhilarating and inventive. Mark is a wonderfully descriptive writer' Peter James
'Exceptional... Mark is writing at the top of his game' Publishers Weekly
David Mark spent more than fifteen years as a journalist, including seven years as a crime reporter with the "Yorkshire Post". His writing is heavily influenced by the court cases he covered: the defeatist and jaded police officers; the competent and incompetent investigators; the inertia of the justice system and the sheer raw grief of those touched by savagery and tragedy. He is the author of the "Sunday Times" bestselling "DS McAvoy" series, historical novels, and psychological suspense thrillers, also writing under the name D.M. Mark

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5More literary than most crime fiction. Well drawn characters and plot line.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Love the characters and the atmosphere. Touching and humorous, highly recommended if you like quirky British mysteries.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5The narration wasn’t great and the story seemed so disjointed and didn’t flow. Have only listened for 3 hours and can’t carry on.
