Publisher's Summary

A Warhammer Crime novel.

An investigation into a missing member of a wealthy family leads Probator Agusto Zidarov into a web of lies and danger amidst the criminal cartels of Varangantua. As the net closes in, Zidarov falls further into darkness from which he may never return....

Listen to it because: take a step into the murky underworld of the 41st Millennium through the eyes of a lawman in a gargantuan city whose investigation leads him into darkness and danger.

The story: in the immense city of Varangantua, life is cheap, but mistakes are expensive. When Probator Agusto Zidarov of the city’s enforcers is charged with locating the missing scion of a wealthy family, he knows full well that the chances of finding him alive are slight. The people demanding answers, though, are powerful and ruthless, and he is soon immersed in a world of criminal cartels and corporate warfare where even an enforcer’s survival is far from guaranteed. As he follows the evidence deeper into the city’s dark underbelly, he discovers secrets that have been kept hidden by powerful hands. As the net closes in on both him and his quarry, he is forced to confront just what measures some people are willing to take in order to stay alive....

Written by Chris Wraight. Narrated by Charles Armstrong.

a breathe of fresh air

finally we get to see a fully fleshed imperium. a real look at what it's like to live on an imperial world, rather than just a brief flash of victims, after something horrible happens. it's a wonderful take on the 40k universe and a great look at the people that are its core

Amazing Dialogue

Some of the best dialogue I've heard, not only in a Warhammer book, but in any book.

Absolutely amazing!

Captivating and fascinating. No Xenos, no Trans humans, no crazy power scaling. Just life in a hive city and an inside look into what it is like to live amongst the untold billions. Nailed it.

Get some sleep man!

I initially didn’t get on with this title, but after coming back to it, I find I quite liked it. Zidarov might be the most sleep deprived, sad-sack, dogged probator in the Imperium.

A hard boiled detective story set in a hive city? COUNT ME IN!

This story was an excellent and very different type of narrative that 40k has needed for a while. The plot revolves around the vicious illegal trade in the chemicals used in Juvenate treatments, extracted from the bodies of unwilling victims. The city is described in vividly grim detail, from the most run down districts for disposable workers to the gilded heights of corrupt wealth. Perhaps the most interesting aspect is the the delicate balancing act performed by the city enforcers that tries to prevents all out war from breaking out between rival gangs and all Powerful corporate entities, with the average citizens caught in the crossfire.

Different and Good

It's nice to have a story where everything isn't life or death of worlds or sectors.

easy and worth listening to.

It's great! There is a great antihero aspect to the main character. The story is interesting and satisfying. The grimdark atmosphere is evoked really well. The performance is solid. I'm left feeling invested enough to want to read more of these Warhammer Crime stories.

Grimdark-noir!

Enjoyed it far more than I expected. narration is excellent, but at times a bit quiet and harder to hear if you listen in noisy environments.
