A Warhammer Crime novel.

An investigation into a missing member of a wealthy family leads Probator Agusto Zidarov into a web of lies and danger amidst the criminal cartels of Varangantua. As the net closes in, Zidarov falls further into darkness from which he may never return....

Listen to it because: take a step into the murky underworld of the 41st Millennium through the eyes of a lawman in a gargantuan city whose investigation leads him into darkness and danger.

The story: in the immense city of Varangantua, life is cheap, but mistakes are expensive. When Probator Agusto Zidarov of the city’s enforcers is charged with locating the missing scion of a wealthy family, he knows full well that the chances of finding him alive are slight. The people demanding answers, though, are powerful and ruthless, and he is soon immersed in a world of criminal cartels and corporate warfare where even an enforcer’s survival is far from guaranteed. As he follows the evidence deeper into the city’s dark underbelly, he discovers secrets that have been kept hidden by powerful hands. As the net closes in on both him and his quarry, he is forced to confront just what measures some people are willing to take in order to stay alive....

Right off the bat, I cannot emphasize how perfectly Charles Armstrong absolutely nailed the reading of this story. His narration, character voices, inflections, and pitch perfect timing made me forget this wasn’t Chinatown, Touch of Evil, or L.A. Confidential.

Huge props to Chris Wraight for grounding 40K in the grimy, polluted, cramped, and rain washed hab blocks of Varangantua. This may be a perfect entry point for people into the massive Warhammer galaxy, with just enough references and winks to the main factions and events to pique further interest in exploring what Black Library and Games Workshop have to offer

Vivid descriptions keep a tense atmosphere throughout the whole book. There's only a handful of references to the greater 40K universe and the references aren't critical to the plot so anyone can pick this up and enjoy the story. Would recommend to 40K fans and non-40K fans alike!

A tense Sci-Fi Film Noir

Great example of noir detective stories set in 40k which makes for such a great noir setting. The main character has reasonable depth as do the other characters involved. I didn’t see the end coming from a mile off. The main character, while troubled and jaded, is at least a -trying his best husband and father-, and isn’t just a cartoon of edgey mcedgeyface buddycop like the lead of Grim Repast.
Recommended, fun read.

Gritty crime with a main character who isn’t a turbo edgelord
