Die Alone
Audible Audiobook
– Unabridged
Brought to you by Penguin.
The new high-octane thriller from Sunday Times best-selling author Simon Kernick.
Alastair Sheridan has it all. Wealth, good looks, a beautiful wife and children and, in the chaotic world of British politics, a real chance of becoming prime minister.
But Alastair also has a secret. He’s a serial killer with a taste for young women.
Only a handful of people know what kind of monster he is, and disgraced detective Ray Mason is one of them.
Awaiting trial for murder, Ray is unexpectedly broken free by armed men and given an offer: assassinate Alastair Sheridan and begin a new life abroad with a new identity. The men claim to be from MI6. They say that Sheridan is a threat to national security and needs to be neutralised. Ray knows they are not who they say they are and that their real motives are far darker.
The only person Ray trusts is ex-cop and former lover Tina Boyd, who’s keen to settle her own scores with Sheridan.
With enemies on every side, only one thing is certain.
No one wants them to get out alive.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 December 2019Although this is the final book in The Bone Field Trilogy it is a fabulous stand-alone read too. When disgraced ex DI Ray Mason, is broken out of prison, where he is serving time for murder, he is given a choice. Assassinate high ranking politician and potential Prime Minister Alastair Sheridan and have a new start and new identity abroad, or go back to prison. This is a chance for Mason to rid the world of a psycho, although he knows the people offering him a new start aren't who they say they are.
This is a fabulous book that is one adrenaline rush of pure pleasure as this cat and mouse game begins. When the hit, where Sheridan should have been, turns out to be someone else it is still a win-win situation for Mason, taking him one step near to fulfilling a promise to a young girl's, now ageing, parents. The police are quickly on the scene, making it obvious that he has been set up for taking the fall for with the gang that broke him out of prison. This leaves Mason no choice as his calls on his former partner and lover Tina Boyd to help him.
The story went up yet another notch, as Tina rapidly became a top player in the story. Loved this ballsy lady who found herself up to her neck in the action and as sort after as Mason. There is a lot of masculine tension going on with two past lovers in her now turbulent life as well as a worthy adversary that could be her match. The depth of deprivation of Sheridan is something that he doesn't have to seek himself as the right people serve his needs as if he was simply ordering dessert. You just know that some people just can't be and don't want to be mended.
A tremendous all-action super high class read. Superb.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 July 2024Great thrilling story that moves at break neck speed. No long protracted dialogue or over desciptions of places and towns. Ray Mason ( an ex army, ex cop) and soon to be ex prisone, is a force to be reckoned with and he serves the reader well. This book is worthy of 4.5 in my opinion and I highly recommend it to readers who like murder and revenge, and a story that keeps you on edge and interested.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 January 2025Really well written, great characters and a great ending to the trilogy! The last book really did have me turning pages fast
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 January 2025Really enjoyed this book , I haven't read all the Tina Boyd series but you don't have too ,it's great as a stand alone novel . If you like action with goodies and baddies and a bit of a love story too then I highly recommend but I would recommend Simon Kernick anyway as every book I've read of his has always been great .
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 September 2024I loved this book. I have now read every one of Simon Kenick's books and this is as good as his first. Every single book is enriched with very believable characters, whether you like them or not. Good always wins but how many of the baddies will make it to the end is a different story.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 July 2022I think the first two books need to be read first before this one. As I have read the I felt that the continual reference to the previous books a bit annoying though necessary for anyone who hasn't. The books are well written and race along. Ray is out for revenge and is our hero. I did find the contents of the book disturbing and depressing that girls can be treated no better than something that can be bought and disposed of as garbage. I am glad the book has come to a conclusion as I wouldn't have wanted to read about it anymore.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 December 2019Another fantastic book by Simon Kernick. Die Alone is a fitting end to The Bone Field series. Full of all the twists and turns you'd expect from a Kernick novel. I've read all of simons books multiple times and i and will surely read them again. I highly recomend this book along with the other 2 in the series. The Bone Field and The Hanged Man. this is a great story spread over three books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sensational
The action is unrelenting. Mr Kernick has delivered another showstopper. Best read as part of the trilogy than as a stand alone book.

Throughly enjoyed it brings the series together with a twist that maybe it’s not a trilogy after all. Who knows
- Amazon CustomerReviewed in Australia on 10 April 2021
4.0 out of 5 stars Fast paced thriller a good read
Kernick weaves a great storyline written in accessible language, with morally complex characters and perfect pacing. Readers of Lee Child or Vince Flynn will enjoy this author.
- Mark GeenenReviewed in the United States on 15 July 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars Great series
First time reading this author and it was flat out enjoyable! He’s created characters that are complicated but feel authentic. Plot was a stretch but why not!
