What to expect

Going Dark is the debut crime thriller from former covert specialist Detective Sergeant Neil Lancaster.

Tom Novak is a troubled soul with a dark and bloody past. A former refugee, Royal Marine, and member of the elite Special Reconnaissance Regiment, he now finds himself struggling with the deadening routine of day-to-day policing. When he is deployed undercover to infiltrate a gang of people-traffickers, things go badly wrong. Faced with an impossible choice, his cover is blown and he finds himself on the run from the Serbian mafia and even his fellow police colleagues. With no-one to trust, and his enemies using all the resources of the state against him, Tom has only one option: to Go Dark.

“If you like your thrills fast, gritty and authentic as all hell, then Going Dark should be top of your reading list." TONY PARSONS

Great book, looking forward to the next one. The narration sounds a bit too AI at times which reduced the immersive experience.

Nothing short of brilliant, I am a fan of Neil Lancaster and this book tells the start of his journey, to Scotland, while working in London.
It's an excellent tale and I couldn't stop listening, the final section of the book will have you up, listening, like myself, all night. More please 😀😀😀😀😀

Having just binge listened to the Max Craigie series, I was really looking forward to more Neil Lancaster. This novel reads like a first novel. It didn't have the characterisation of the others and the rhythm of the narrator was a little disjointed.
