About this listen

Secrets. Lies. Murder. Fame can be deadly.

A British icon delivers a powerful blockbuster in an exhilarating thriller set in London’s East End. ‘Masterful’ Susan Lewis

‘Feels different and fresh, Johnny Klein is a great character, love it!’ Kimberley Chambers

‘Gritty, compelling and heartbreaking … loved it’ Catherine Cooper

A FALLEN ROCKSTAR. ONE LAST CHANCE FOR REDEMPTION.

People used to scream Johnny Klein's name.

Now he's lost the fame. The marriage. The money.

When he's offered one more throw of the dice, he grabs at the chance. But instead, Johnny's dragged down into East London's dark underbelly, and forced to face the dark corners of his past.

JOHNNY THOUGHT HE HAD NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE. HE WAS WRONG.

Wasn’t sure if I would enjoy this because it might just be exploiting the authors name. However I decided to try it based on previous reviews and really enjoyed it. The story line is good and a bit different. Paul Thornley is an excellent reader. So definitely recommend.

Surprisingly good.

The book was ok to listen, not quite my topic about former rock-stars, but the narrative was so good that it made me to listen to the end. Now I am looking for other other books read by Paul Thornley, will see if the other reads are as good as this one.

Probably the best narrative so far

Really enjoyed the story. I was interested that Martin Kemp was the author. By chapter three had totally forgotten that. The twist and turns engaged me. The narrator was spot on. I enjoyed the interview at the end with Martin - imagining him in the bath! Will certainly buy the next one in the series

I really enjoyed this
