About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Sirens by Joseph Knox, read by Lewys Taylor.

I stopped going to work. I went missing. We still live in a world where you can disappear if you want to. Or even if you don't.

Detective Aidan Waits is in trouble

After a career-ending mistake, he’s forced into a nightmare undercover operation that his superiors don’t expect him to survive.

Isabelle Rossiter has run away again

When the teenage daughter of a prominent MP joins Zain Carver, the enigmatic criminal who Waits is investigating, everything changes.

A single mother, missing for a decade

Carver is a mesmerising figure who lures young women into his orbit – young women who have a bad habit of disappearing. Soon Waits is cut loose by the police, stalked by an unseen killer and dangerously attracted to the wrong woman.

How can he save the girl, when he can’t even save himself?


‘Razor-sharp urban noir – very special indeed.’ – Lee Child

‘Thrilling, breathless stuff’ – Observer

‘Jumps straight into the top league of English noir.’ – The Times

Critic Reviews

Knox presents the city as pungently and uncompromisingly as Ian Rankin does Edinburgh
A firecracker of a crime tale. His writing is taut, atmospheric and studded with eye-catching descriptions. An arresting new talent.
Razor-sharp urban noir – very special indeed. (Lee Child)
Sirens is a powerhouse of noir. Joseph Knox owns Manchester and paints it in all its grimy colours. (Val McDermid)
Thrilling, breathless stuff
The dark, gritty underbelly of Manchester is captured with eviscerating authenticity in this debut . . . This is urban noir at its freshest and most ferocious.
A noir in that great tradition of the American writers James M Cain and Dashiel Hammet . . . it reminded me a bit of Chandler’s LA, the whole city is corrupt, the authority figures are as bad as the criminals. (Jake Kerridge on Open Book, Radio 4)
Jumps straight into the top league of English noir.
Manchester throbs with lowlife in this startling debut . . . a page-turner with a beating heart. I loved it. (Sarah Hilary)
This is an excellent read; it feels both classic and completely new and is remarkably assured for a first outing.
