About This Audiobook
Detective Erika Foster stumbles onto the murder of a true-crime podcaster during a late walk near her Blackheath home, and when she's assigned the case, the investigation reveals the victim had been tracking a predator targeting South London students — a predator whose stolen notes may contain the key to stopping him. When a second body surfaces in the same building, the case fractures into something darker and more complex than it first appeared. Robert Bryndza's seventh Detective Erika Foster novel is a tightly plotted procedural with genuine stakes.
Jan Cramer's narration brings Erika's dogged, morally driven intelligence to the fore, capturing both the detective's professional ferocity and her personal groundedness. At just over nine and a half hours, the production maintains clean momentum without sacrificing the atmospheric detail that makes a South London procedural feel specific rather than generic. A strong entry in a consistently reliable series.
