Story
Dan Hendricks is a man in need of a lifeline. A former CIA operative, he is now an agent for hire by foreign powers on the hunt for dangerous fugitives. It's a lethal world at the best of times, and Dan knows his number is almost up. His next job could be his last - and his next job is his biggest yet. The target sounds trackable enough: Jacques Fillon, who gave up his life trying to save a fellow passenger following a bus crash in northern Sweden. But the man was something of an enigma in this rural community, and his death exposes his greatest secret.

Hospitals are supposed to be places of healing. But in the coronary care unit at one of Copenhagen’s leading medical centers, a nurse fills a syringe with an overdose of heart medication and stealthily enters the room of an older male patient. Six days earlier, a paperboy on his route in central Copenhagen stumbles upon a macabre find: the naked body of a dead woman, lying in a fountain with arms marked with small incisions. Cause of death? Exsanguination - the draining of all the blood in her body.

Publisher's Summary
They locked him up. Now he’s out--for revenge.
Former CIA officer James ‘Wes’ Wesley paid the ultimate price for his patriotism when he was locked up in a French jail for an anti-terror operation gone wrong--abandoned by the Agency he served, shunned by his colleagues and friends, cut off from his family.
Now he is shattered by the news that his ex-wife, Rachel, a State Department analyst, has been killed in a terrorist attack in Spain. He also discovers that his young son, Ethan, is missing. But Wes didn’t know he had a son--until now.
Why was Rachel in Spain? And why did she keep his son secret from him?
Granted early release, Wes takes flight across Europe to search for the truth and exact his revenge. But can he catch the spies who betrayed him before they track him down? In order to find the answers and save his son, Wes realises he must confront the dark secrets in his own past--before it’s too late.

My new favorite author!
First: Thank You Mr. Wignall for writing such an intriguing story and not using any profanity and for displaying that a great story doesn’t need sex to complete or add filler for a story to be told.
Loved the way this played out, the characters were well developed, and I loved how they were expressed.

Great plot; great narration!!
THE NAMES OF THE DEAD is a fantastic espionage thriller about a CIA agent named James Wesley, called Wes, and his ex-wife and their son. The protagonist role is shared by a young woman from Croatia named Mia in a partnership of convenience. This is easily the best novel I have read so far this year. The narrator, Michael Braun, is new to me but he is outstanding.
Very, very highly recommended!

Wow. It doesn't get much more entertaining.
What a fantastic espionage thriller. And to think it can be written without gratuitous sex or cursing... And to think it may be a stand alone book instead of the start of a lengthy series... The narrator, Michael Braun, does a fabulous job. I couldn't stop listening while pondering why I am liking Wes and Mia but forgiving torturing and shooting; pondering the terms "evil" versus "good"; and realizing every human being has those traits in unequal measure. I highly recommend this read.

Just okay.
Okay is the best I can say. The story begins with the "hero" in prison. Supposedly a prison for war criminals, but it sounds more like summer camp. Once I got past this point, I enjoyed the story. It was believable and interesting. The narrator was the problem. His tone was very calm and low key, almost mono-tone, which is not good for a story where the hero is being hunted and forced to kill people. I will not buy a book he narrates again.
