Summary
A former Medal of Valor winner, Minnesota detective Alexander Rupert is now under subpoena by a grand jury on suspicion of corruption. So when he's asked to look into the false identity of a car-accident victim named James Putnam, a man who in fact died 15 years earlier, Rupert sees a potentially big case and an opportunity to regain his respectability.
But the investigation puts him in the path of "the Beast", the nom de guerre of Drago Basta, a cunning veteran of the Balkan wars and a sociopath assassin who has been searching for Putnam for years. Putnam had something that Basta still wants. If Rupert's life was in shambles before, it's now also in danger. Threatened by the Beast and suspecting his wife of cheating, Rupert falls for the seductions of the dead man's former girlfriend. As he feels his life spinning out of control, his steadfast brother and fellow police detective Max may be Rupert's last hope.

Trad US procedural
3.75⭐️ A slow build which drew me in with its plot complexity. I didn’t gel with the narrator. Not in the same league as the first book, I didn’t get on board with the MC the same as with Joe.

No thanks
I thought this might be an interesting investigation but the nasty evil violence has made me stop listening. No thanks

Brilliant fast paced thriller
This was a real roller coaster of a story-intrigue, twists and turns, with flawed but relatable characters-great narration and highly recommended.

Good story but still waiting for Joe Talbert
Well paced story and the narration is pretty good.
I really enjoyed Book 1 in the Joe Talbert series but Joe is kinda missing in this book …… maybe rename the series?

Not a patch on the first book
I read Book 1 of the series and thoroughly enjoyed it. This one however was very disappointing. The grating drawl of the narrator did not help - his voice was just irritating. The plot was totally implausible in so many different ways. I listened because it was free from the Plus catalogue but I don’t recommend.

Clever story
Having loved the previous book by Allen Eskens I was hopeful this would be just as good. Unfortunately it wasn’t, the narrator was dreadful particularly when narrating female parts. Lost track of the story a few times because of this.

No Joe Talbert
If you want a book 2 with Joe Talbert don’t listen to this one. But the story is ok with lots of twists. I found the narrator’s voice quite annoying but it didn’t stop me listening to the end as I paid to listen to this one.
Note to self: read the reviews and have a taste of the audio before purchasing it…
