 FROM THE #1 BESTSELLER

‘If you like your conspiracies twisty, your action bone-jarring, and your heroes impossibly dashing, then look no farther’ Mark Dawson

When twelve-year-old Valentina fails to return from a visit to her father in Moscow, alarm bells start ringing. Her rich and powerful family know there’s one man they can depend on to bring her back safe: former SAS major Ben Hope.

But what starts off as an apparently straightforward case of parental child abduction quickly takes on more sinister dimensions as Ben travels to Moscow and starts to investigate the whereabouts of Valentina and her father, Yuri – a man with a hidden past not even his ex-wife knows about.

Now that past has caught up with him, it’s not only Yuri’s life that is in danger, but Valentina’s too. If Ben Hope can’t save them, nobody can.

The Ben Hope series is a must-read for fans of Dan Brown, Lee Child and Mark Dawson. Join the millions of readers who get breathless with anticipation when the countdown to a new Ben Hope thriller begins…

Whilst the Ben Hope thrillers can be read in any order, this is the seventeenth book in the series.

This Ben Hope adventure had it all, in spades! I'd found the previous books a good read, but the spark had been lost since the early part of the series. Without a doubt it's back with a bang in The Moscow Cypher!
Ben is on the trail of a young girl who has gone missing. It soon becomes evident that her disappearance is linked to a much bigger plot...one that could have catastrophic consequences on a global scale.
Superbly intriguing plot line, some interesting characters and full of the usual action and adventure that you'd expect from this series. Can't recommend this one enough!
Superb narration from Colin Mace once again. His range of accents is fantastic.

Best Ben Hope for a while...!

Colin Mace is a superb narrator and brings every character to life! Long live Ben Hope!

What a fantastic series this is!

Always captivating! I love the attention placed on the details of the different places; I am catapulted directly into the story and can feel every emotion each character is experiencing. I enjoyed the experience of being seated on the luxury jet as well as bouncing over dirt trailed roads in the Mercedes and tumbling along at high speed in the van. I also enjoy listening to Colin Mace who truly brings the characters and places alive.

Thank you both (Scott Mariani and Colin Mace) and your team.

Brilliant!!!

I didn’t love this one. To begin with I thought it was the book where the author turns on the loyal reader and starts churning out anything just because they know they will sell, I’m sure we all know at least one author who is guilty of that. Fortunately, it was not the case, thank you Mr Mariani.

What has been becoming more and more annoying is the long running use of “he just didn’t know it yet” or variations of that phrase.

Still enjoying!

excellent story, well laid out and professionally narrated.

Fast pace as you work your way through Moscow's less welcoming areas.

SaS at its best

Another action-packed, slightly implausible story from Mariani. Enjoyed it though and looking forward to the next Hope adventure.

Another great story

Another fabulous adventure for Ben Hope by Scott Mariani. Love Colin Mace’s accents for characters too!
If you’re a fan ... sit back, buckle up & enjoy ...

Top Notch Action Adventure

Mariano is a master of tricky plots and believable characters, I always look forward to a new Ben Hope adventure.

As thrilling as ever

I’ve read all of the Ben Hope series and loved every minute. I think I’m a little in love with Ben to be honest. He’s tough and protective but with hidden depths and a huge heart. If you like an adventure and aren’t put off by a bit of violence, then Scott Mariani’s Ben Hope series is for you. I just have to wait patiently, which is difficult, for the next in the series.

Brilliant as always
