    About this audiobook

    Back when they were students Simon and his friend Ray had dreams to become rock stars. Fifteen years later, their mid-thirties are bearing down fast and they're having to accept a less glamorous life. Ray takes refuge from his responsibilities by living a virtual existence in online games. People say he needs to grow up, but everybody finds their own way of coping. But for Simon it's serial murder, mass slaughter and professional assassination.
