Gone Dark

Matthew Redd Thrillers, Book 4

De: Ryan Steck

Narrado por: Chris Abell

Matthew Redd doesn’t go looking for trouble. But this time, it’s found him anyway . . . and he’s not the only one in the crosshairs.

Late-summer wildfires are a fact of life in Montana. But as an inferno nears Wellington, Matthew Redd gets the unusual call that a team of smoke jumpers has suddenly gone dark. As head of the county’s fledgling search and rescue team, Redd drops into the fire zone and finds way more than he bargained for: a killer has taken out the smoke jumper team along with two civilians, and only a terrified young boy is left as witness. Redd and little Jack narrowly escape the raging fire, and Redd calls in Gavin Kline, now acting director of the FBI, to investigate the bigger forces at play.

That afternoon, during one of her last clinic shifts before the birth of her second child, Emily Redd loses a young patient to an overdose. Fed up with yet another loss to the opioid crisis―this one a former schoolmate and a wounded veteran―Emily tracks down and confronts the retired doctor responsible for feeding her patient’s deadly addiction.

Hours later, when their home is attacked, Redd and Emily wonder which of them kicked a hornet’s nest―or if they’ve both stumbled onto pieces of a much bigger puzzle. As the fire closes in, they follow the connections from a corrupt doctor and a local opioid supplier all the way to a murdered whistleblower for a Big Pharma giant. As Redd’s concern for young Jack grows, those who want to silence him forever hunt him down. Redd will do whatever it takes to protect the boy and his family . . . even if it means he’ll have to outrun an inferno and come face-to-face with his greatest fear.

My favorite Matthew Redd book so far!

Love the relationship Redd develops with Jack. This book is full of action for Redd , Emily, and Mikey!! I can’t wait for book 5!

Best One Yet

I was so sad to have this one come to an end! This was one of the best books in the series. The narration was on point as it has been for each book in the series. I am very hopeful that the series continues.

4th book does not disappoint

The cover has Matt jumping over train cars, an epic part of the book. The more epic part is the fire scene but I guess Fields of Fire book took that cover. This novel was full of action from start to finish. A small teaser in the end indicates a previous character is going to come back. One of the most endearing plots and character is the little boy, Jack or …..JD! So perfect. Cannot wait for the next one. Well done Ryan Steck. The Narrator is also good
