The Starling Project (2014)

THE STARLING PROJECT won the 2016 Audie Award for Best Original Audiobook.

An aborted raid targeting a major arms dealer. A hostage standoff at a bank that may not be what it seems. A plot to spring a former African dictator from prison. What is the threat that connects them all? And just who is the mysterious mastermind, The Starling? From Mexico to Washington – from London to Marseille to Prague – war crimes investigator Harold Middleton and his team of Volunteers risk their lives to follow the trail of clues. But how can they stop The Starling – when he always seems one step ahead?

With more than 80 speaking roles and state-of-the-art sound and music design, The Starling Project is an immersive listening experience written by Jeffery Deaver.

Previous Harold Middleton thrillers include The Chopin Manuscript, winner of the Audio Publishers Association’s Audiobook of the Year Award, and The Copper Bracelet.
