About this listen

Every assassin has a first time…

On the backstreets of Lyon, France, an MI6 surveillance team are gunned down in a cold-blooded ambush. Thrust into the hunt for the assassin is the sole survivor – rookie covert operative Duncan Grant.

His feats in training are already the stuff of legend. His tough, solitary existence on Scotland's Isle of Skye forging a man willing to kill to protect the innocent and save lives.

But no training can prepare Grant for the devastating consequences his first kill will unleash.

As he follows a bloody trail of clues around the globe, he discovers that his own agency is selling him out.

Now Grant is about to find himself in the middle of an international conspiracy involving a corrupt Interpol detective, a Saudi prince, and the highest levels of government.

But they've underestimated the wrong man.

And Grant's about to prove to them that the second kill is far easier than the first.

A rip roaring adventure

A great book for fans of Jason Bourne, Mission: Impossible, and the like, as always, with an excellent narration by Angus King.

Cracking Book.

This is a cracking book which has a very well written plot with great characters. I enjoy Andrew Raymond’s books because they provide everything that a good story needs. Looking forward to the next book in this new series featuring Duncan Grant. As always the vocals of Angus King were excellent, and who knew he could sound so menacing when required.
Highly recommend.

Lacks depth

I could listen to Angus King read a shopping list and, as always, he does an excellent job.
The plot however is overly long and often repetitive. Timelines and events are unbelievable to the extreme and there is little or no humour… even the wry, dark humor that often lifts this type of genre.

Yes, this is what we’re talking about.

Credible in a satisfyingly incredible way.

Angus King nails the narration of Andrew Raymond’s ripping yarn. Admirable goodies, repellent baddies. More rises, gravity free falls, hooping the loops and looping the hoops.

The story combines John Le Carré, Len Deighton and Ian Fleming flourishes with gritty narration.

Fine stuff; can’t wait till the next instalment involving any surviving members of the cast.

Wow. This, Duncan Grant, is a series to follow.

A twisting, taut plot with wide-reaching action and plausible, engaging characters. It's richly woven yet completely focused.

It has the elegant plotting and feel of Smiley, with the gruff pragmatism of Reacher, wrapped up in edgy tartan noir.

Angus King is marvellous as ever, and with a completely new voice and characterization in Duncan Grant.

Straight on to the next one. Andrew Raymond has played a blinder with this.

Gripping questions of whose the bad guy

Grant is a great character and it’s the start of hopefully an exciting series by this great author and read excellently again by Angus King
