About this listen
A detective tracks a poetry-obsessed serial bomber—meter by deadly meter—in an explosively clever short story by international bestselling author Jeffery Deaver.
When an improvised explosive device is found outside a hospital, the understaffed Middleton PD knows it’s up against a pro. No one takes credit for the sophisticated device—all that Detective Jake Sloan has to go on is a poem. The cryptic rhyme surfaced shortly after the bomb scare. But ex-soldier and football player Sloan has never been much of a poetry buff. When a second verse turns up, containing a message in code, he solicits the help of English professor Ciara Hawkins. Together, they rush to read between the lines and stop the countdown to tragedy. But as the clock ticks, Sloan senses that beneath this complex case is a motive that is simpler and more disturbing than anyone could have anticipated.

Colter Shaw is a career "reward-seeker", making his living traveling the country and locating missing persons, collecting reward money in return. So it is not unusual when a wealthy entrepreneur hires him to track down his wife, an enigmatic artist who vanished one month before. As Shaw begins to investigate, he suspects that she was fleeing a bad marriage, and he follows her trail to an artists' retreat in Indiana. The case takes one surprising turn after another, and soon, Shaw begins to wonder if this mysterious woman is more of a captor than a captive.

My life was ordinary until three years ago when I was thrown out of a downtown hotel window. My name is Robbie Brownlaw, and I am a homicide detective for the city of San Diego. I am 29 years old. I now have synesthesia, a neurological condition where your senses get mixed up. Sometimes when people talk to me, I see their voices as colored shapes provoked by the emotions of the speakers, not by the words themselves. I have what amounts to a primitive lie detector.

Death is a topic Bradford Douglas is intimately familiar with. The young attorney is on a crusade against capital punishment. He’s saved a number of death row inmates, but none of his cases has been as tough as the one he now faces: Henry Combs, a vicious serial killer, has only hours to live when Douglas is summoned for a Hail Mary attempt to have the man’s sentence commuted to life imprisonment. As Douglas races to pursue whatever strategies he can think of, he finds his passion for justice giving way to something altogether different. An obsession.

Best thing I’ve listened to in a long time
I was pleasantly surprised to be surprised. Complex plot, misdirection. A fun listen. Mr. Dealer hit this one out of the park.

Enjoyable Short By J.D.
Fine little short story by Mr. Deaver. I liked the premise and this is right up there with his novels. If you like J.D's writing I would recommend this book. Aaron Shedlock does a good job narrating.

Excellent but too short
Deaver delivers a great story - as always. But it was too short and maybe there will be more. It is worth listening to, however.

3.5* short story
A well written short story with a predictable twist at the end. It's as if Deaver is just calling in these quickies between his greater works. The stories are like quick snacks to tide you over until you can devour a satisfying full book.

Really really good book!
The book has a really good story line but unfortunately a cliffhanger ending in a way which was annoying. But the performance was very good!

Detailed and interesting short story
The author mentioned people and details of poetry history which got me exploring for accuracy. I credit this book for adding to my education and being very well written. Now I want to read more Jeffery Deaver books. Good job, Mr. Deaver!
