About this listen
Eighteen years after the barbarous war with the Serbs that tore their communities apart, a group of Croatian villagers discover the identity of the Englishman who they believe betrayed them by welching on a deal to supply arms.
With revenge in sight at last, they hire a professional killer from London to track him down...but is the story as simple as they think?
A brilliant, bruising thriller, told in a unique way, about what happens when the hand of the past suddenly reaches out to the present - and is holding a gun.

Either fewer characters or clearer distinction when switching between the various strands. There are at least five sets of characters and associated locations that the listener needs to track, through frequent switches, to make sense of the plot.How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
