'James MacPherson's readins of Ian Rankin's novels deserve a special place in the audio-thrillers' hall of fame. He takes us straight into the back of DC Rebus's head, and makes us loth to leave it. STRIP JACK is a juicily long abridgement, which allows plenty of time for us to get to know a gallery of possible suspects for the murder of an MP's wife who has an inconvenient liking for perverted sexual horseplay.'

Someone is stripping Jack naked.... Gregor Jack, MP, well-liked, young, married to the fiery Elizabeth - to the outside world a very public success story.

Then Elizabeth disappears, a couple of bodies float into view where they shouldn't, and a lunatic speaks from his asylum... With his wife missing, his job on the line and his sanity in doubt, Gregor Jack is ripe for revenge.
