The Ghost Audiobook (Free)

‘The moment I heard how McAra died I will have walked aside. I can find that right now…’

The narrator of Robert Harris’s gripping new novel is a specialist ghostwriter – cynical, mercenary, and with a nice line in deadpan humour. Accustomed to working with fading rock stars and minor superstars, he jumps at the opportunity to ghost the memoirs of Britain’s former prime minister, especially since it means flying to the American vacation resort of Martha’s Vineyard in the middle of winter and completing the book in the seclusion of a lavish house.

Nonetheless it doesn’t take him very long to realise he has made a terrible mistake. His forerunner on the project died in circumstances that were distinctly suspicious, as well as the ex-prime minister turns out to be a guy with secrets in his past that are time for haunt him – secrets with the power to kill.

THE CHANGING TIMES has called Robert Harris ‘the leading current exponent from the intelligent literary thriller’. The Ghost is usually his most convincing novel yet.
