Manhunt

Hunting Britain's Most Wanted Murderer

By: Peter Bleksley

Narrated by: Peter Bleksley

In June 2004, 16-year-old Liam Kelly was lured to a location in Liverpool in the early hours of one morning and shot dead. The following year, another Liverpudlian, 22-year-old mother of three Lucy Hargreaves, was shot dead in her own home. Her partner and their two-year-old daughter escaped after the house was set alight by leaping from a first-floor bedroom window.

For more than 15 years, six-foot six-inch, broadly built, ginger-haired Kevin Parle has been wanted by the police for both murders. How could he have evaded national and international crime investigators for so long? Who is harbouring him?

Author and former Scotland Yard detective and undercover cop Peter Bleksley is determined to find the answers. He has immersed himself again in the world of serious and organised crime, this time armed only with a pen, a notebook and a mobile phone. He has vowed not to rest until Parle is found.

This gripping story goes behind the scenes of the hit BBC Sounds podcast Manhunt: Finding Kevin Parle.

Great story but the sound volume is a bummer

I love hearing from true investigators about the details of their lives and pursuits of individuals who need, or needed, to be stopped. This is a very good example of dedication and reminder that there are good people (and tolerant, supportive family members) doing good work. The sound quality is unfortunate but this audiobook is still very listenable. Keep up the great work, sir - and thanks for sharing this story.

Not as Expected.

I like Peter and have followed him on his various shows and news appearances albeit we have quite differing political views. I decided to get this book after enjoying the podcast and found it enjoyable for a totally different reason …….that being it was a story of how to make a podcast and a journal of two mates going away and sharing an adventure. That said I loved it !!!!
