His identical twin was murdered, now they want him dead.

From international best-selling author Jack Hunt comes a suspense-filled mystery thriller set in the Adirondacks of Upstate New York.

After a highly decorated police officer is found brutally murdered in the ski resort town of High Peaks, the State Bureau of Criminal Investigation steps in. Upon hearing the news, homicide investigator Noah Sutherland returns to his hometown in the Adirondacks, believing his brother's death to be more than just a cold, methodical ambush.

Every town has secrets.

Amidst millions of acres of wilderness where one mistake can be deadly, Sutherland and his slain brother's K-9, Axel–both distressed by loss–soon bond. As they pursue the violent and ruthless through the high peaks, he uncovers the truth behind the shocking crime and the secrets of a tight-lipped community.

Every family has a past.

With the clock ticking, Sutherland must choose between his family’s safety or risking it all to seek justice for his brother. But will the uncanny resemblance to the slain, accompanied by the assistance of an intelligent dog be helpful, or will it prove fatal?

This new mystery crime thriller series is perfect for fans of James Patterson, David Baldacci, Michael Connelly, Lisa Jackson, Sandra Brown, Dennis Lehane, C.J. Box, LJ Ross, Harlan Coben, and Craig Johnson.

?? Narrator

The story was good. Narrator could have been better though. I will check out the next in series.

A fun listen.

This was a quick, fun listen with mystery, police procedural, your usual threads, a bit of danger, a bit of action, lots of personal drama … packs everything I love in a mystery. It was also fast-paced.

Based on this read, I will be exploring more from this author—it’s made me a fan.

4 stars.

Audio:
The narrator did a good job, overall, though he does sound a bit robotic. Not one I’d seek out, more one I can tolerate for the right book. (From me, that’s high praise, as I can’t listen to just anyone read.) 3-star performance.
Production quality was smooth.

Lots of twists and turns

Unusual setting made this story especially unique and fascinating.
I’m already planning on book 2

Good thriller

With a great mix of mystery, drama, and police procedural, this thriller was fun to listen to. I tried my best to guess who the culprit was but failed.

I bet it would be a great read!

The story was very good with a good plot. Personally, I didn’t really enjoy the narration.

Well written

I am a huge Patterson fan, but I can now consider myself a new Hunt fan!

Don’t take things at face value.

I liked his persistence in finding the truth. A lot of twists, and turns to hold your attention.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

So much potential, but too much time wasted.

Not enough action, too much detail. More time needed on the rising and falling action.

The Prodigal Son Return

When Noah Sutherland return home to attend the funeral of his identical twin brother, You are drawn into a mystery that has you on the edge of your seat. I enjoyed this book so much, I immediately got and finished book 2 Vanish from Sight. Moving on to book 3
