A Torchwood Adventure Army Of One

Washington D.C., post-Miracle. The city has been hit by a spate of very unusual serial killings. The victims are different ages and genders and the locations vary, but each body has one thing in common – it has been reduced to a dried-up, desiccated husk. Special Agent Lucas Avery has dealt with some tricky puzzles in his time, but this is stranger than anything he’s ever encountered. His one lead is a pair of names: ‘Gwen’ and ‘Rhys’... For Gwen Cooper and Rhys Williams, still recovering from the recent, traumatic events that shook the world, life is about to get difficult and dangerous again. For it’s not just Homeland Security on their trail, but something else – something alien, terrifying and deadly... Written specially for audio by Ian Edginton, Army of One is read by Kai Owen, who played Rhys Williams in the hit BBC television series.

Reviews

You’ll want to keep turning the pages long after lights out to find out what happens next … Reichs’ real-life expertise gives her novels an authenticity that most other crime novelists would kill for

—— Daily Express

Reichs' seamless blending of fascinating science and dead-on psychological portrayals, not to mention a whirlwind of a plot, make Break No Bones a must read

—— Jeffery Deaver

With Kathy Reichs the reader knows they're in the hands of an expert

—— Sunday Express

Brennan is a winner, and so is Reichs

—— Daily News

A truly impressive writer

—— We Love This Book

With a steady hand, Jo Nesbo deftly ties together the different narratives, steering the novel towards its goal with great precision...The fact that Harry Hole is a character in constant development makes the book even more interesting... Great, sombre summer reading.

—— VG (Norway)

A brilliant and incredibly fast-paced race through the violin-ravaged (violin is a new drug, more powerful than heroin) streets of Oslo to uncover who is at the centre of a drugs rung... ex-alcoholic Hole is dealing with more demons than 24’s Jack Bauer ... Sceptics may argue that crime fiction is too sensationalist and that endings are tied up too neatly but Phantom proves them all wrong. Once you’ve read the conclusion you’ll agree that Nesbo’s writing is far from predictable.

—— Stylist

Nesbo is a powerful writer

—— Joan Smith , Sunday Times

A gritty, pared-back thriller

—— Esquire Magazine

A pacy punchy read frome one of the best in the business

—— Sport

ike a Scandinavian police version of the Jason Bourne series... a compulsive page turner... Nesbo leads us into the murky back-streets of Oslo and a world of drug addiction and smuggling, gang warfare and corrupt officialdom – all of which social context is handled with real skill by the author.

—— Independent on Sunday

Phantom is arguably a much better book than any previous instalments. Nesbo wrings out the tension, by turns painful and delicious, with consummate skill.

—— Davd Connett , Sunday Express

Nesbo’s extraordinary writing power still mesmerises.

—— The Times

Phantom will maintain Jo Nesbo’s unstoppable momentum.

—— The Independent

The king of Nordic crime – and his haunted protagonist Harry Hole – returns with this tightly plotted thriller which pitches Hole deep into the murky underworld of Oslo’s heroin market.

—— Metro

Jo Nesbo is at the top of his game... The must-read thriller of 2012.

—— Bella

Phantom leaves us reeling, with a storyline and ending that hurts us almost as much as it hurts the protagonists... The twists and turns show Nesbo at his complicated, yet utterly accessible best, and Hole at his undeniably brilliant but self-destructive worst.

—— The List

Jo Nesbo is a master of his craft. His latest novel, Phantom, is world-class crime writing. Phantom is a crime novel that pleases on every level.

—— Dagbladet (Norway)

Harry Hole is back only to find that the case he wants to investigate is already closed

—— Observer

Jo Nesbo has done it again with Phantom, his seventh gripping novel featuring Inspector Harry Hole... Tense and compulsive Phantom will have you jumping out of your seat

—— Hannah Britt , Daily Express

King of Scandinavian crime... A writer at the top of his game

—— Deirdre O’Brien , Sunday Mirror

Riveting reading from page one
