Summary

A schoolboy lies alone and dying on a Scottish mountainside. An experienced rescue team can't find him. One man is the boy's only hope.

When news of Martin Princeton's disappearance reaches international fugitive Ryan Kaine, he abandons the evidence that could help clear his name and heads to the Scottish Highlands. Officially, the authorities want Kaine in custody. Unofficially, there's a bounty on his head.

Still hampered by injuries from the events that turned him into the most wanted man in Europe, Kaine uses the heavy burden of killing 83 people aboard civilian aircraft Flight BE1555 to fuel his new mission. He will protect the grieving families, "The 83", at all costs.

Armed only with charm and an intimate knowledge of the area, Kaine has to convince the rescue team of his good intentions, and find out everything he can about Martin's disappearance before they discover who Kaine really is.

Can Kaine use his mountaineering knowledge, special forces training, and rapport with the locals to find the missing boy in time and bring himself one step closer to redemption?

Superb in every way

Apart from the fact that Gildart Jackson is my favourite narrator by a mile, he is revealing stories within these 2 books that are very well written and ones you can't 'put down'. Not my normal genre of story but they have been written with excellent understanding of character, all threads are followed through to the end, nothing is over-done or over-explained. All aided by Gildart who has a 'tongue in cheek' approach with a history of wisdom behind his story telling. Wonderful....can't wait for the next one.

Good conclusion to book 1

Again as an Alex cross and Reacher fan I have enjoyed this book, you need to read the first in the series, don’t jump straight into book 2

Wrong narrator

Too posh for the characters. All speaking Received Pronunciation was a little hard to believe.

On the rocks

Very good continuing story- twists and turns were really good, a novel not to put down, the only little fault with the narrator was he struggled with Scot’s accents - they were welsh and Irish at points! :-)
