Broken Fingers: The Making of a Killer

De: Stephen Coombes

Narrado por: Alex Colley

After framing you, they told Aggie you were dead.

Five years on and free, you find their names. Names you can hunt and kill.

But one of them visits Aggie's bed, on occasion.

Jed never wanted to be a killer, but Mallala prison changes everyone.

Misfortune and malice throw Jed into a Moroccan jail for five years while Aggie, the love of his life, believes him dead. To survive, he must surrender his humanity to Malik, a psychopathic assassin who teaches him to break bones and kill without remorse. Every day, thoughts of Aggie torment him and feed his hatred for his hidden foes.

Brutalised, he returns to England looking for answers. A Foreign Office diplomat with a conscience and a CIA agent with a grudge point him in the right direction. He learns who framed him, who told Aggie he was dead, and who now sleeps in her bed. He hopes when she knows the truth, she may want to see him but fears the new Jed will repulse her.

As he takes his revenge, the spirit of Malik and his love for Aggie fight for his soul.

Broken Fingers, although a work of fiction, owes much of its authenticity to personal experience.

Beautiful, brutal, outstanding

An engaging trip through the extremes of human endurance and expectations. Strong characters and excellent dialogue. Superb narration by Colly. Highly recommended.
