What to expect

This audiobook is masterfully read by Hugh Bonneville and includes a bonus feature with the author, Peter James, who reveals the inspiration behind the story and characters.

'Sensational – the best what-if thriller since The Da Vinci Code' – Lee Child
, author of Killing Floor

From the number one bestselling author, Peter James, comes an explosive standalone thriller for fans of Dan Brown that will grip you and won't let go until the very last page.

Investigative reporter Ross Hunter nearly didn’t answer the phone call that would change his life – and possibly the world – for ever.

‘I’d just like to assure you I’m not a nutcase, Mr Hunter. My name is Dr Harry F. Cook. I know this is going to sound strange, but I’ve recently been given absolute proof of God’s existence – and I’ve been advised there is a writer, a respected journalist called Ross Hunter, who could help me to get taken seriously.’

What would it take to prove the existence of God? And what would be the consequences? This question and its answer lie at the heart of Absolute Proof.

The false faith of a billionaire evangelist, the life’s work of a famous atheist, and the credibility of each of the world’s major religions are all under threat. If Ross Hunter can survive long enough to present the evidence . . .

The king of crime is now a miracle worker

Fast-paced and highly enjoyable, Absolute Proof has enough twists to keep the reader gripped . . . as well as making you think about some of the big questions of existence as you race to a surprising, satisfying ending

What a cracking thriller! Exciting, unputdownable and ultimately thought provoking.
I'm a big fan of the TV series, Grace, but this is the first novel I've read of Peter James. I'll be certainly reading his other books and would love to see this one made into a screen drama.
Hugh Bonneville narrates with perfection - as you would expect, and the author's note at the end is enlightening and insightful to his process.
Altogether a fantastic experience, in more ways than one!
