Alex Hawke, British lord and gentleman spy, is looking for the queen's missing grandson, whose disappearance may be the culmination of a plot almost a century old in this breathtaking new adventure from New York Times best-selling novelist Ted Bell.

December 8, 1941, Washington, DC

The new Chinese ambassador to the United States, Tiger Tang, meets with President Roosevelt one day after the attack on Pearl Harbor. For the next four years, China and the US will be wartime allies, but the charming, sophisticated ambassador may be playing his own treacherous game.

Today, The Bahamas

Alex Hawke is recovering from serious injuries incurred during a battle with a malevolent enemy. His recuperation is interrupted by a desperate call from the queen. Her favorite grandson has disappeared in the Bahamas. Lord Hawke is the only man she trusts with a mission this sensitive. All she knows is that the young prince was last seen at the exclusive Dragonfire nightclub owned by the nefarious Tang brothers, grandsons of Ambassador Tiger Tang.

Narrator

Very, very disappointed with the change in narrator. After 10 books!! I hope the original narrator is ok. Have to see how it goes with next book. May have to read it instead of listen.

not a fan of new narrator. story bounced around

struggled to finish.. new narrator throws you off. story bounced back and forth. it was like two stories in one..

Why change the narrator?????

Mr. Bell please go back to the original narrator. Stokley's voice is unbearable!!!! I enjoyed the story, but could hardly get through the narration.

New reader ruined it.

Every character that was American sounded alike. Please get the other guy back!! Stoke ans Congrieve really sounded wrong so did Brock.

Not Bell’s best

Narrator detracted from what wasn’t Bell’s best. If this had been my first in the series, I am not sure I would have read the others.

Good, but not at its normal level

The series didn’t seem to have the meat of past books. Also, there was a lot more British poshness that kind of slowed things down. Not the island items, more the flashbacks. Still a huge fan.

great book. bad narration

what the heck happened to John Shea? the narrator leaves something to be desired. Did not capture my interest. had to buy the book to read for myself.

Great fast paced read!

As always, Bell delivers historical fiction filled with nods and one-liners drawn from real historical figures toggling from WWII to present day escapades by Hawke and his best battle tested friends and lovers! Readers of a certain age will appreciate the historical bits that come into the dialogue and younger readers will love the intrigue.

Love Hawke but what happened to Stokley?

This was a typical Alex Hawke book with plenty of adventure on awesome boats and beautiful women, but really disappointed with the portrayal of the jovial funny Stokley Jones. The character was completely differently portrayed and like a totally different person. Disappointed in that but overall a decent listen.

a crime most foul

Not sure why the change in narrator was made., but if the is another Hawke novel they should go back to the original talent.
