About this listen

A friend in need is a friend indeed. And no one is a better friend than hitman-for-hire Lex Harper.

When a mate from his past ends up in a Bolivian prison, Harper doesn’t think twice about going to his aid. Beatings, rapes and murders are an everyday occurrence in the prison. But the only way to break his friend out is for Harper to put his own life on the line, in a place where death comes quickly and only the strong survive. Getting into the prison is easy enough – but can Harper get out? And how many people will he have to kill to make it back?

Stephen Leather and Paul Thornley - how can you go wrong? I've got them all and this one doesn't disappoint. I listened every chance I got. I did actually scream in frustration at a certain point towards the end, but I won't say why. Really felt for Lex. I had to stop listening for a few minutes I was so peeved! Listen to it!

Another addictive listen

Having been brought up on Dan Shepherd I looked forward to Harper's appearance. Its ok, Paul Thornley delivered the book well. Harper is an interesting operator I just couldn't associate myself with 'Scouse".

Good story

Love love love the stand alone Lex novels and this one is the best so far.

Can’t wait for more Lex stories….. stand alone or in the spider series.

Epic story.

Another great listen from the master who is Stephen Leather, fast paced, edge of the seat stuff. Brilliantly narrated by yet another master of his craft Paul Thornley, highly recommended listen. *****

Great story and learnt many new things about South America, especially the prisons there. Having listened to many SAS stories I found that aspect slightly weak BUT I would still say that you should get this book.

Paul as always does the job but even he struggled to bring this one to life .

Hmmm

I love Stephen Leather’s books and listened to almost all of them.
This one unfortunately does not live up to expectations, I kept waiting for the crux of the story, the thing that would change it from an predictable amble into a Stephen Leather book.
It’s only due to Paul Thornley’s excellent (as always) narration that I made it a decent way through the book but about an hour to go I will be giving up. It’s just not worth the time. Stephen can do better.
