Die Alone

By: Simon Kernick

Narrated by: Paul Thornley

The new high-octane thriller from Sunday Times best-selling author Simon Kernick.

Alastair Sheridan has it all. Wealth, good looks, a beautiful wife and children and, in the chaotic world of British politics, a real chance of becoming prime minister.

But Alastair also has a secret. He’s a serial killer with a taste for young women.

Only a handful of people know what kind of monster he is, and disgraced detective Ray Mason is one of them.

Awaiting trial for murder, Ray is unexpectedly broken free by armed men and given an offer: assassinate Alastair Sheridan and begin a new life abroad with a new identity. The men claim to be from MI6. They say that Sheridan is a threat to national security and needs to be neutralised. Ray knows they are not who they say they are and that their real motives are far darker.

The only person Ray trusts is ex-cop and former lover Tina Boyd, who’s keen to settle her own scores with Sheridan.

With enemies on every side, only one thing is certain.

No one wants them to get out alive.

Critic reviews

"Simon Kernick is one of the most reliable purveyors of the edge-of-your-seat thriller...a more powerful adrenaline rush than an EpiPen." (Jake Kerridge, Sunday Express)

"An emotionally punchy domestic noir blended with the pace and action of a high-octane thriller, We Can See You will keep you breathlessly on the edge of your seat, wondering which character you can trust, if any at all, until the final brilliant twist! A #WTFthatending indeed!" (Sarah Pinborough, author of Behind Her Eyes and Cross Her Heart)

"A pacy thriller, with a body count that rises along with the tension levels." (Sunday Mirror)

Book 3 Die Alone

This is a thrilling thriller! It is fast paced and full of action from beginning to end. Set in the shady world of politics and the old boy's network, corruption reigns supreme.

There is human trafficking, contract killing, blackmail and every other crime against humanity that you could imagine.

And yet amongst this darkness, there are pinpoints of light and humanity. There are people who are prepared to sacrifice themselves to do the right thing, to fight against those corrupted by their own power.

Ray Mason is one such person. Tina Boyd another.

This is an exciting book, one that I would like to see made into a movie. Although this is the third book in a series, it is easily read as a stand alone. The author provides enough back information in the course of the story to make this possible. I look forward to more to come. And coming from someone who is more of a murder mystery/crime/domestic & family drama reader, this is high praise indeed.

Paul Thornley was great with the delivery of the story

Fun Thriller

Lots of action, good story, nice characters, exciting writing. Great reader tops it off. Will try other books from author.
