Find the truth; risk everything. A gripping WWII spy novel full of intrigue and peril from a modern master.

1942: a German spy comes ashore on a desolate stretch of Lincolnshire beach. But he is hunted down by a young detective, Richard Prince. The secret services have need of a man like him....

In occupied Europe, Denmark is a hotbed of problems for British intelligence. Rumours of a war-ending weapon being developed by the Germans are rife. Sent to Copenhagen, Prince is soon caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Dodging Gestapo agents, SS muscle and the danger of betrayal, his survival - and the war effort - hangs in the balance.

Gripping and intense, Prince of Spies is the first in a new espionage series that will delight fans of Alan Furst, Philip Kerr and John le Carré.

Really liked the story, but the narration was very distracting. The odd cadence and often strange intonation made me think that this was a text-to-speech app rather than a human reading.

Weird Narration

I enjoyed this book, so on the strength of this one I intend buying the next one in the series.

Extremely good for a free read.

Story, characters and plot are excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The narrator was excellent too.

Nice Spy Drama

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The story is ok….not hugely thrilling and a little far-fetched, but I did feel compelled to finish it…the narration is pretty poor and lacking in variety and excitement. I don’t think I’ll be bothering with any more titles by this author…perhaps if it was narrated by Jonathan Keeble I might be thinking differently??

Dull narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The plot of this novel is well researched, tense and keeps you wanting to find out what happens. I’d say that the writing itself is a little clunky with some dodgy dialogue, but that said I enjoyed it
