Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Tokyo, Japan

Umiko Wada has had enough excitement in life. With an overbearing mother and her husband recently murdered, she just wants to keep her head down. As a secretary to a private detective, her life is pleasantly filled with coffee runs and paperwork.

That is, until her boss takes on a new case. A case that is surrounded by shadows. A case that means Wada will have to leave Tokyo and travel to London.

London, England

Nick Miller never knew his father and was always told he wasn't missing much. But when an old friend of his late mother says there are things that Nick needs to know about his parents, he can't ignore it.

When a chance encounter brings Wada and Nick together, they couldn't know the series of violent events set off by their investigations. And when they discover Nick's father might have been the only witness to a dark secret forever buried, they realise there are some powerful people who will do whatever it takes to keep it that way....

Knock Out Thriller

Easily one of the best, most intelligent, well structured, and exciting detective audiobooks presented this year! Umiko Wada, a widow is personal assistant to one man detective agency. Because she’s fluent in English, she’s an asset to her boss. This unassuming Japanese woman takes on a case after her boss is murdered. Wada becomes a very efficient detective in a series of frightening events . Highly recommended, hope there is another in Wada detective series soon.

Fantastic written story

Found this book by chance as saw a pic of Stephen King reading it. Turned out to be a Great story…so many twists and turns…no predictable plot or ending which is often so common. Couldnt stop listening and now will be purchasing the next book in the series.
