The Justice Club

By: Col. Lee Martin

Narrated by: Benjamin Hunter

Former Marine sniper and CIA target man, Atticus Steed, turned professional hitman, now only takes down special targets...people who for one reason or another have literally gotten away with murder. Directed by an unknown unseen employer who identifies himself simply as Omega, Steed receives his sketchy instructions for the hits via text message from a burner phone. But who is Atticus Steed, really? And how does his employer gain knowledge about cases from all over the country...cases involving those murderers who for whatever reason have been set free by the system? Finally, who is funding the kind of money that pays the best hitman out there?

Traveling with Steed is his beautiful lady friend Maria Cortez, who believes from Atticus' night and day surveillance he is simply a high-priced private investigator for a large nationwide detective firm. Only days after they met two years before and fell in love, she gave up a career to go on the road with him, finding herself enjoying not only their ever-developing relationship but a lavish lifestyle made possible by the man about whom she actually knows very little. But as she now seems to be tiring of the hotels, boredom and nomadic life, she doesn't realize that Atticus' non-committal attitude in their relationship is actually his way of keeping her from danger.

Hot on Steed's trail are two tenacious special agents of the FBI, John Hickcock and Maggie Larsen, who having figured out who he is, find their investigation of him leads them to the very hierarchy of the Department of Justice. As the agents continue tracking Steed, they are suddenly alarmed to learn the name of his next target. But will Steed carry out the hit? If he refuses, he knows there will be a new and final target in the making: Him. Will you hope he is caught or root for him to get away? Down to the last chapter, you still may not have your mind made up.

Addictive. What a story!

The Justice Club is an awesome Audible. Atticus Steed is a government contract killer, not by choice. Atticus is a nice guy with a rare unique ability. He is an excellent sniper and killer which puts him in demand.

Two FBI agents unwittingly find out about Atticus’s work putting them all in a fight for their lives. With the help of these two tenacious FBI agents, Atticus breaks free from those forcing him to kill. Or maybe Atticus saves the agents. It's not a job anyone walks away from.

I really enjoyed The Justice Club. I did not want to stop this one. But life gets in the way. I could have listened to this from start to finish. But like I said, life gets in the way. I am looking forward to the next book by Col. Lee Martin.

The narrator, Benjamin Hunter, is becoming a favorite of mine. Hunter gives each character a real personality. I know these characters and have to find them in another book. Off to search for more of Martins's writing and Hunter's storytelling!

Interesting New Characters

The first few moments were extremely difficult to listen to due to distracting sound effects. I nearly quit the book then. But I'm glad I got through it and listened to the rest! It was excellent and has the potential to be an outstanding series.

Good bad guy

I'm a world filled with bad guys, it's good to have at least one of them watching your back. Good book. Easy listen.

Awesome experience!

Looking forward to the next installment coming soon as Killing the Viper.

What a series!
