The Hero's Fall

A DCI Isaac Cook Crime Thriller

By: Phillip Strang

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Angus Simmons had it made—until he fell from a London skyscraper.

The television host and celebrated mountaineer was admired for his daring climbs and loved for his charisma. When he fell while scaling a building, it initially seemed like a tragic accident. Simmons was a meticulous planner who measured every risk. This climb wasn't even difficult for him.

Then the autopsy revealed the bullet.

Detective Chief Inspector Isaac Cook and his team at Challis Street become interested immediately. This wasn't an accident—someone shot Simmons mid-climb. But who could shoot a man scaling a building without being seen? And why kill someone at the height of success?

As Cook investigates, he discovers that Simmons' perfect life masked professional jealousies, romantic entanglements, and dangerous secrets. His mountaineering exploits took him to remote places where witnesses were scarce and accidents were easy to arrange.

Was this murder planned for that specific moment, or had someone been waiting for the perfect opportunity?

Who shoots a hero in mid-flight?

Perfect for fans of Peter James, Ian Rankin, and Lynda La Plante.
