About this listen

How can you prove your innocence when you can't remember the crime?

Being a cop runs in Billy Harney's family. The son of Chicago's chief of detectives whose twin sister, Patty, also followed in their father's footsteps, there's nothing Billy won't give up for the job, including his life. Left for dead alongside his tempestuous former partner and a hard-charging assistant district attorney out for blood, Billy miraculously survives. But he remembers nothing about the events leading up to the shootout.

Charged with double murder and desperate to clear his name, Billy retraces his steps to get to the bottom of what happened. When he discovers the existence of a little black book that everyone who's anyone in Chicago will stop at nothing to get their hands on, Billy suspects it contains the truth that will either set him free...or confirm his worst fears.

Brilliant - will definitely listen to the follow up books from this Author. Just the sort of fiction I love - although it is so like the sort of reality of today

Twists and Turns throughout

Excellent plot with strong, colourful characters. James Patterson has done the right thing collaborating with David Ellis, thought he’d gone off the boil to be honest but this is right up there with his best. Thought that the narrator could have injected a little more tone into the voices of the different characters but overall, a job well done.

Twists and turns a plenty!

Kept us guessing from start to finish. every time you think you have things all worked out a new twist develops or the characters are well developed along with the storyline. As expected from James Patterson a brilliant story and well performed making it all totally believable. Highly recommended
