The Audies^® Awards 2010

The Dying Breed by Declan Hughes
Even the best private eye needs more than a name to find a missing person, but that's all that Father Vincent Tyrrell, the brother of prominent racehorse trainer F. X.

Synopsis...

For 15-year-old Michael Berg, a chance meeting with an older woman leads to more than he ever imagined. The woman is Hanna, and before long they embark on a passionate, clandestine love affair that leaves Michael both euphoric and confused. Years later, as a law student observing a trial in Germany, Michael is shocked to realise that the person in the dock is Hanna. The woman he had loved is a criminal. Much about her behaviour during the trial doesn't make sense. But then suddenly, and terribly, it does - Hanna is not only obliged to answer for a horrible crime, she is also desperately concealing an even deeper secret.
