Before Halloween is
upon us, it might be worth downloading this remarkable literary crime thriller
WHITEHAVENS by Parker Bilal from Audible, in readiness for that night - All
Hallowes Eve.
But first a little
background: Yet again, Audible
present an exclusive, a crime thriller to debut as an audiobook before
entering print or as an eBook; Audible’s 2020 October surprise -
So, what is Whitehavens
all about?
In a mission that goes
badly wrong, loyal assassin Brodie takes out the nephew of the criminal
mastermind he works for – and the hitman suddenly finds himself in the firing
line. Saved by the woman he was sent to kill, Brodie is injured and at her
mercy. But Brodie and Karima know too much about unforgiving gangster Donny to
remain alive. Brodie his gun for hire. Karima his accountant. They both know
where the bodies are buried.
And when Donny turns the might of his brutally violent empire on them there’s only one thing to do: run. Because as Brodie knows all too well, a moving target is harder to hit. Bound together, this unlikely couple must do all they can to survive. But can Karima ever trust the man who was sent to end her life?
Taking flight, they can only outpace their would-be killers for so long. When they run out of road, they have one last shot at freedom. But can they make it – before it’s too late?
Whitehavens by Parker
Bilal is a standalone spin off from the Crane & Drake
Series. Inspired by personal experience, Whitehavens follows the story of the
hitman who suddenly finds himself to be the marked man.
Released exclusively
to Audible and narrated with flourish by actor Damian Lynch, it’s a thought-provoking
distraction from the Covid-19 lockdown.
Parker Bilal was born
in London, he has lived in Khartoum, Cairo, Denmark, Barcelona and currently,
Amsterdam. He began writing literary fiction under his own name Jamal Mahjoub publishing
seven critically acclaimed literary novels, which have been widely translated.
However, in 2012 Mahjoub
realised a long-held dream of breaking into Crime Fiction with The Golden
Scales, the first in his Makana series. Set in Cairo, the series covers the
decade from 2001 to 2011 and the Arab Spring.
