About this audiobook

He's the only one who can stop a massacre ... The unputdownable action thriller from Australia's no.1 true crime writer.


Riley Jax, convicted murderer. Once a promising engineer in the army, he lost everything in a single night when he killed a man – an act he cannot remember.

It's a devastating gap in an otherwise perfect memory.

Now he's facing a new life, one behind bars, where he has to learn a whole different set of rules and only the toughest survive.

And as a series of deadly bombings rocks the outside world, the only man who might be able to find the truth behind the conspiracy ... is on the inside.

Australia's no.1 true crime writer lets his imagination off the leash in this unputdownable action thriller for all fans of Matthew Reilly, Lee Child and David Baldacci.
