When medical malpractice leads to violent revenge, Irish-style....
Kieran Kelly's world turns upside down when his wife's health is devastated by an epidural in childbirth. Incensed by damning evidence of medical and pharmaceutical misconduct, the tormented former IRA hit man plots revenge against those he deems responsible, including a government that doesn't seem to care.
Kelly's quest brings him face-to-face with an alcoholic physician, an altruistic scientist, and a corrupt government minister - but not before the love of a stunningly beautiful but crippled countess makes him question his motives. He meets Countess Magda von Esterhazy at a meeting of a self-help group for victims of the uniquely painful iatrogenic (doctor-caused) disease that struck down his wife. Magda awakens feelings that he thought he had lost forever.
Meanwhile, one of Kelly's targets, scientist Jonathan Tring, finds himself embroiled in the Machiavellian machinations of his boss, the gruff and corrupt owner of a pharmaceutical company, and the man's stunning young American wife. In all the mayhem, Tring, too, finds love - and desperately wants to live to enjoy it.
Cry of the Needle is a searing tale of love and vengeance. Revenge is a dish best served Irish.

I was very impressed with Nigel Patterson's performance of this audiobook. His accents seemed accurate enough and added to my appreciation of the story. His character voicing was distinctive enough in most cases. The accents helped. I'm glad I got a chance to listen to this audiobook.

His plans are sent slightly off track when he meets the Countess Magda. A sufferer like his beloved wife. He finds himself genuinely in love with Magda and it makes him rethink his plan.
On the other side of the equation is the young doctor Jonathon Tring who is caught up in the plot after accepting a research position at the company that makes the drug given to Kelley’s wife. He writes a response to the uproar around the drug and ends up as #1 on Kelley’s hit list.
This was a really well written book and the emotions are laid out in a believable, yet compassionate way. I like the bits of Irish history and the geniune person that we get from Kieran. The ending is inevitable but not overdone and the characters stayed with me long after I finished listening to it. Which I did on 1.5 speed.

Fantastic medical thriller!

Once the plot got going, though it seemed to almost completely be about something different. The revenge plot gave way, for the most part, to the corrupt politician and the alcoholic doctor. In fact, the longer I listened, the more confused I was about why these plots seemed to take over. I enjoy medical thrillers, but this book tried to do too much - the scope just became way too big.
The narration was great. Nigel Patterson did a fine job with the various accents, even the southern belle, surprisingly.

Where does Cry of the Needle rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Out of the 250+ books I have purchased ... Cry of the Needle would rank in the top 20 because of the storyline and the possibility that this could really and probably has happened.What did you like best about this story?
I liked the fact that the storyline is complex enough that it made me want to listen to see what would happen but not so complex that I got frustrated with it. Also, that I was unable to determine where the story was going kept me engaged throughout the complete book,Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
There was no one particular moment that moved me because the entire book was so compelling that I could not pick just one.Any additional comments?
