Summary

Operating from the deepest shadows of the dark web, a sadistic predator orchestrates his atrocities remotely, hiring ruthless mercenaries to abduct women off the streets of Denmark and stream their terrifying final moments live directly to his screen. His methods are flawless, his proxies are disposable, and his identity remains completely hidden.

Meanwhile, former detective Hans Schmidt is trapped behind the concrete walls of Denmark's most impenetrable prison. Wrongfully convicted of a horrific murder spree, Hans is locked away with the nation's most dangerous criminals. But as he pieces together the evidence from his cell, Hans realizes the true mastermind-an old enemy known only as the Barber-pulled the strings to frame him. Knowing the justice system has failed, Hans must do the unthinkable: orchestrate an impossible escape from a maximum-security fortress.

On the outside, traumatized police investigator Louise Andersen is the only one who knows Hans is innocent. But the dark web syndicate is already closing in on her. The Barber has a deeply personal vendetta, and he is obsessed with making Louise the star of his next snuff film. To stay alive, she must risk her badge and her freedom to help Hans break out and dismantle the lethal network together, before the cameras start rolling on her own demise.

The Dark Abyss is the pulse-pounding third installment in the bestselling Red Revenge crime thriller series by acclaimed Danish author Nis Jakob.

    When the lifeless body of crime journalist Tom Pinder is fished out of the river near Jack's barge, it seems that the hardened old drinker may just have had one too many...and accidentally slipped to a watery death. But Pinder's young colleague doesn't buy that explanation, and asks Jack and Sarah to investigate. As they dig deep into the stories that Pinder was working on, Jack and Sarah soon discover that he had made some very dangerous enemies prepared to stop at nothing to keep a dangerous truth buried.

Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, the detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly - but with a spot of tea - it's like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby. Each of the self-contained episodes is a quick read for the morning commute, while waiting for the doctor, or when curling up with a hot cuppa.

Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid-90s, creating innovative content and working on major projects for the BBC, Disney Channel, Sony, ABC, Eidos, and Nintendo to name but a few. Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts, computer games, radio shows, and the best-selling mystery series Cherringham. Their latest series project is called Mydworth Mysteries.

The narrator of the audiobook, Neil Dudgeon, has been in many British television programmes including the roles of 'DCI John Barnaby' in 'Midsomer Murders' and 'Jim Riley' in 'The Life of Riley'. He is also known for his film roles in 'The Nativity', 'Sorted' and 'Son of Rambow'. In 2012 Dudgeon starred as 'Norman Birkett' on BBC Radio 4's Afternoon Play series written by Caroline and David Stafford.
