About this listen

The battle is one of wits and cunning, where the strong heart will overcome his enemy.

Ex-marine Arthur Nakai spent years as a member of the Shadow Wolves, an ICE tactical unit tasked by the US government to hunt human traffickers and drug smugglers on the US/Mexico border. He put that life of confronting violence in the darker contours of the desert landscape behind him and settled into a quiet existence in New Mexico with his wife, Sharon, a local TV reporter.

But when Sharon goes missing after crossing paths with a serial killer who has just added to his list of young victims, Arthur's calm world is shattered. He must return to the darkness of the life he left behind in order to save what matters most to him and the future he and his wife plan to share together. He can only hope that she is still alive and that his skills will be enough to find her.

So begins the hunt to find a ruthless killer and save the love of his life.

Slow start, or maybe it’s me trying to get into my M R mind frame. Builds throughout. Much more traditional than the last, but I enjoyed that too. I’ll be waiting for book 21…

Reminds me why I’ve read the other 19

It was a pretty good book. Decent story with believable characters and the narration was good. Although when the old man in the cabin was speaking near the end of the book, the narrator would yell for no reason during certain parts of the conversation as the old man spoke. Pretty funny..

Pretty Good

Fast, moving story line. Character development. Heroes and heroines native American beliefs, though I would’ve liked more of that.

Suspense

This is not for the sensitive reader, and not for children.

Bronson Pinchot is an incredibly talented reader. He can be listened to at normal speed, which I normally cannot stand, all the way to 2x normal speed, without any difficulty understanding him, and without losing any nuance.

I don’t normally listen to this genre, but downloaded it because of the narrator. He is one of my favorites.

Nevertheless, this is a well written, superbly paced, dark and coarse story. It lays bare the consequences of absolute self-centeredness, obsession, sexual violence, objectification of women, and the twisting of cultural honor and morality. The thoughts and actions of this single psychotic man transform him into death incarnate. If there is an embodiment of evil, he is it. He is the absolute antithesis of community, and the darkness by which it is repulsed. He is the devil.

It is also a story of the chase, of light vs darkness, in which the darkness is a twisted and warped reflection of the light, making this counterfeit likeness almost completely unpredictable, and the deadliest of evils.

Very dark

If you like suspense, this is a must try book. I didn't want it to end.

I'm new to Mark Edward Langley but this was a great introduction. I loved the story line and the characters. Happy to move on to book 2.

Great book!

This is a dark story. The beginning starts off that way. I have listened to other books like this, so I wasn't to shocked. If a person can get thru the first few minutes then it's an ok listen. I think the narrator was pretty good, it was a little hard to hear at times especially when the narrator used a low voice for the bad guy.

Dark

The book was well written with lots of excitement. I wish they would have gone just a little longer and let the couple have another baby.

Great Book!

The story itself was good, but the narrator’s voice was so slow and low that it put me to sleep on a few occasions.

Narrator much too slow and low
