About this listen
Five months after Scotland’s Independence Referendum, freelance journalist Willie Morton discovers he has a look-alike who works for pro-Union group, GB13, which aims to prevent Scotland leaving the Union. Morton wants to discover how far they are willing to go to frustrate democracy. What are the group’s connections with MI5 and is the Prime Minister involved?
It’s a game of high stakes and soon Morton is in the Palace of Westminster fleeing for his life up into the dusty dereliction of the roof space. He needs to confront the reclusive leader of GB13, whisky magnate Lord Craile, in his remote mansion on Mull and ask him one question - why?
But some questions are too incendiary, too dangerous.... The Union is sacrosanct, greater, it seems, than democracy itself and Morton seems to be a threat to it, their top target.

Story
Two years ago, a hostile Prime Minister launched the Monochrome inquiry, investigating "historical over-reaching" by the British Secret Service “to investigate historical over-reaching.” Monochrome’s mission was to ferret out any hint of misconduct by any MI5 officer—and allowed Griselda Fleet and Malcolm Kyle, the two civil servants seconded to the project, unfettered access to any and all confidential information in the Service archives in order to do so. But MI5’s formidable First Desk did not become Britain’s top spy by accident, and she has successfully thwarted the inquiry at every turn.

Story
A debut novel in the vein of Greene and le Carré, A Dying Breed is a brilliant and gripping story of the politics of news reporting, intrigue and blood set between the dark halls of Whitehall, the shadowy corridors of the BBC and the perilous streets of Kabul, in the shadowy le Carré-esque world of foreign correspondents reporting from war zones around the world. Carver, an old BBC hack, is warned off a story when a bomb goes off, killing a local official in Kabul, but his instincts tell him something isn't quite right....

A weekly newspaper dedicated to the weird and the wonderful (but mostly the weird), The Stranger Times is the go-to publication for the unexplained and inexplicable. At least that's their pitch. The reality is rather less auspicious. Their editor is a drunken, foul-tempered and foul-mouthed husk of a man who thinks little of the publication he edits. His staff are a ragtag group of misfits. And as for the assistant editor...well, that job is a revolving door - and it has just revolved to reveal Hannah Willis, who's got problems of her own.

Incredible Story
Journalist Willie Morton has made an intriguing discovery that he looks remarkably like Phillip Gallimont, a member of GB13, a discrete pro-union organization. Willie attempts to pass a Gallimont and gather some information that he can use - this essentially starts a deadly chain of events as the secrecy and new found threat to Morton's life (due to his involvement) begins to unfold.
This thriller has many great qualities, it cal classify as a political thriller, legal thriller, and has elements of action that would resemble any spy story such as James Bond. Author Andrew Scott has done an incredible job with keeping the suspense going from start to finish, and the vivid details of scenes and characters paints an image and brings the story to life.
Narrator David Sillars was absolutely perfect for the audiobook version of this story.
I highly recommend this book.

Good solid political conspiracy
Scotch Nation.
A good solid political conspiracy thriller.
It's not fast paced but is a tension builder.
It sat on my Kindle for over a year before I started it, and once started I couldn't put it down.
I received a free copy of this audio book at my own request and voluntarily left this honest review.
