About this audiobook
A Manchester crime thriller charged with international espionage, where a terrorist campaign in the UK traces back towards an US presidential hopeful. Police-procedural investigation, security-service misdirection and community tensions at breaking point.
A City Under Attack. A Trail That Leads to Washington.
A staunchly right-wing US senator is determined to be her party’s candidate for president in 2028. What has that got to do with a terrorist campaign ripping through Manchester with devastating consequences, pushing community relations to their absolute limit?
A local MP is trying to heal the divisions, but he’s receiving threatening mail that grows more menacing with every delivery. And the senator is in league with the MP’s political opponents.
DCI Lauren Blake of Greater Manchester Police has her own personal reasons for bringing the terrorists to justice. But she begins to suspect the security services are steering her towards the wrong suspects, and every thread she pulls leads back to the senator. The closer Blake gets to the truth, the more she finds herself facing people with even less conscience than the terrorists she's hunting.
Who Are the Bad Guys? Is a standalone Manchester crime thriller, for readers who love international espionage, British police procedurals and political conspiracy with teeth. Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Mark Greaney and Ann Cleeves.
