About this audiobook
Special low price for a limited period to discover Paul Finch’s debut crime novel.
Time’s up. You’re Next.
"All he had to do was name the woman he wanted. It was that easy. They would do all the hard work."
Detective Sergeant Mark 'Heck' Heckenburg is investigating the disappearance of 38 different women. Each one was happy and successful until they vanished without a trace.
Desperate to find her missing sister, Lauren Wraxford seeks out Heck’s help. Together they enter a seedy underworld of gangsters and organised crime.
But when they hear rumours about the so-called 'Nice Guys Club' they hit a brick wall. They're the gang that no one will talk about. Because the Nice Guys can arrange anything you want. Provided you pay the price…
Dark, terrifying and unforgettable. Stalkers will keep fans of Stuart MacBride and Katia Lief looking over their shoulder.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Spannend! Nur leider mit offenem Ende, was hoffentlich irgendwann in einem weiteren Buch weiterverfolgt wird.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A really good page-turning thriller, but not really my cup of tea. Basically far too much action and not enough detection. There is fight after fight after fight; all well described, but, for me, much too much emphasis on the blood and gore and much lingering over real nastiness. There is no doubt that the author has talent; but I doubt I will want to discover his further works.
I also think that plausibility is an issue throughout the book, we are carried along by the thrill of the chase, but, if we pause to reflect on the potential reality then - ho-hum. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Eigentlich ein gutes und spannendes Buch. Leider wechselt der Autor nach dem höchst gelungenen Anfang das Thema, bzw. er legt sein Hauptaugenmerk auf den Ermittler. Ich persönlich fand den ersten Ansatz aber viel spannender und hätte mir mehr davon im Buch gewünscht.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Stalkers – Who is watching you?Typical of me to discover Paul Finch by reading his third book Stalkers in his ‘Heck’ series and I would like to thank him as I am now going to have to find his first two books and his latest! Stalkers is a great read with the Detective Mark ‘Heck’ Heckenberg a detective sergeant in the National Crime Squad who has to go off the reservation to solve the case and could so easily be handed his own backside in a sling!Heck has been investigating a number of missing persons cases, not something you would expect the National Crime Group (UK version of the FBI) to be investigating as they are generally routine and handled by the local police force. What makes this Heck’s case are that these missing people are all women, who are highly educated, plenty to live for, high achievers who just disappear off the face of the earth. Cars abandoned, shopping left in the open boot of the car, just gone.Heck finds similarities but his bosses believe the case is going nowhere and a lot of money and resources close his investigation down. Heck is sent on leave and decides the only thing he can do is carry on his investigation, which means he will have to go on a road trip. During his initial road trip he ends up with the help and support of one of missing person’s sister Lauren Wraxford an ex-squaddie who he does not want but ends up needing. It is while he is on this road trip that he realises what he is actually up against when he is set up for the murder of a local thief.On the run he becomes the target for a well trained contract killer and through this he find that a so-called ‘Nice Guys Club’ are the people who are running the killer and are highly skilled ex-military men who provide an expensive ‘rape club’ for the rich elite. It becomes a race against time and his own colleagues to discover the whole story and at the same time discover if there is a mole in the National Crime Group.This is a fast paced gritty crime thriller with plenty of twists and turns that leaves you breathless and excited as you read. Paul Finch has used his skills as a screen writer to draw the reader in and hold them enthralled in the story feeling central to it and feeling the tension that racks through Heck. Yes Heck is a defective detective but a damn good one at that not afraid to go against his bosses in the search for the truth. The truth in this book is that you will not be able to put it down and to use the cliché of clichés this really is a page turner well worth investing your time in.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent read which kept me on the edge of my seat all the time.
