This was to be her last day alive. The renowned criminal psychologist Ira Samin prepared her suicide thoroughly. The death of her eldest daughter had weighed too heavily on her conscience for her to carry on and she yearned for one last drink to raise a toast to oblivion. Her morbid plans are interrupted and she is called in to negotiate a gruesome hostage situation at a radio station where a psychopath is playing a morbid game.

While the show is on air, he calls people from the phonebook at random. If they pick up the phone with a certain slogan, a hostage is set free. If they don't, then the hostage is unceremoniously shot. The man threatens to continue playing this game until his fiancée arrives at the studio. The only problem is that his fiancée died several months ago....

AMOK is a gripping audiodrama and tense psychological hostage thriller set in a Berlin Radio Station, from the internationally renowned author of the best-selling Audible Original Drama The Child.

This book was a great read

Loved it! The story line kept me at the edge of my seat. Non stop...intense

Very exciting.

Love thrillers! I never knew what to expect. The actors sound English when the were supposedly German but never the less a superb and dark thrill. I'll probably play it again.

Very captivating and amazing quality

Very captivating story from the very start to finish, amazing voices and story telling. Listened in one day. But seemed at the end a classical Hollywood story with a typical finish.

From beginning to end a gripping tale. Suspense, action and intrigue mixed with interesting characters performed and produced flawlessly.

no

What other book might you compare Amok to and why?

The Child because it's the same kind of performance.

Did the narrators do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

No. I was frequently confused with some of the male characters, especially the SEK officers. It was hard to tell which one was speaking and thus hard to keep some of the story straight.
