Summary

He had never heard himself scream before. It was terrifying.

Alone, trapped in the darkness and with no way out, Bart Campbell knows that his chances of being found alive are slim.

Drugged and kidnapped from his Edinburgh home, the realisation soon dawns that he’s been locked inside a shipping container - but what Bart doesn’t know is that he’s now heading for France, where his unspeakable fate is already sealed....

DCI Ava Turner and DI Luc Callanach are working on separate cases that soon collide as it becomes clear that the men and women being shipped to France are being traded for women trafficked into Scotland.

With so many lives at stake, it seems an impossible task - but there’s no option of failure when Bart and so many others will soon be dead....

The next gripping thriller from the best-selling crime author Helen Fields.

The perfect read for fans of M. J. Arlidge and Karin Slaughter.

Critic reviews

"Perfect Kill is a compelling breathless read. Unflinching, brave and so well researched and considered." (Essie Fox)

"Utterly compelling, as ever, and dizzyingly twisted, with characters so real they could step off the page." (BP Walter)

Perfect read

Cannot get enough of this series. Already wanting the next one. Speech of some individual French male characters was difficult to differentiate sometimes but overall Robin Laing rose brilliantly to the challenge of a large cast of characters - creating a discernibly different and memorable voices. Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable listen.

Perfect Kill

One of the best set of book series I have ever listened to. All the characters within the story made the stories come to life. I could go on and on. If you like crime thrillers, love stories and suspense please listen/ read these books. 10 out of 10.

Superb

For the first hour or so I suffered a small amount of déjà vu, the story seemed so generic that I was certain I'd heard it before, however, around the 90 minute mark, it started to grow into a great behemoth of a tale, pure thrills all the way through with Robin Laing giving a marvellous performance as usual.

I highly recommend this book to all fans of the series, all newcomers too as it could be read as a standalone, but better to start at book one which is also fabulous.

What a Fantastic Series

The characters in this series are like old friends and I enjoy seeing them develop. The writing is sublime as is the Story telling. Just can’t wait for the next offering.

Another good one. Sad there isn’t another to look forward to. Disappointed that they still didn’t get together!!

sorry to hear this is the last in the series!

I have become so involved with the characters and the topics in the story are very relevant in today's world of human trafficking etc. could not stop listening.

5 1/2 *

This series is so enjoyable. The characters are so well developed, sometimes a little clichéd but that’s okay. Although I do find ongoing “will they, won’t they?” relationship themes in long running series a little tiresome, but in this series it makes sense and doesn’t detract from the actual story. The crimes are interesting.

The narrator is very talented with neither the narration nor the book usurping the other.

I hope there will be at least one more book but I think after that the relationships both personal and in the work place may have run their course for me at least.

Thoroughly enjoyed!

Entire series is brilliant!

I have loved each and every book in this series. The characters are likeable, funny and maddening at times- you really get to know them. The plots are twisty and woven together really well. The narration is fabulous and I love that Robert Laing does all the books. Highly recommend! Once I listened to the first book I was hooked and had to listen to them all! So good I may even listen to them all again!
