Summary
It’s winter in New York City, and Rufus O’Callaghan is trying to make things work. He’s still got his job as a confidential informant, and he’s still got Sam Auden. The ex-Army drifter has moved in with Rufus, and the two men are trying to build a lasting relationship as Sam struggles to find his footing in the city.
When Sam gets a call from a woman offering to sell him information about Project Stonefish, though, neither man knows what to make of it. Sam still has questions about the training operation that caused him to leave the Army—and that ended in the death of someone Sam cared about. And Rufus is all too aware that when it comes to Stonefish, Sam’s judgment might be in question.
Everything changes when Sam and Rufus learn that the woman who called Sam has died from a suspicious overdose—and that, before she died, she contacted someone else about Stonefish. Someone who wants Stonefish to stay buried in the past. Someone with the power—and the ruthlessness—to make sure it stays buried. And to learn the truth about what happened all those years ago, Sam and Rufus will have to place themselves in the crosshairs.

I love their snarky banter.
There's fast-paced action, danger and adventure.
While they're working to solve they mystery, they're also working gard individually and as a couple to recover from past trauma.
Garrett Kiesel did an amazing job narrating and bringing these characters to life.
Great addition to the series

The mystery was intriguing and fast-moving giving the story incredible momentum. At the heart of the story is the romance between Sam and Rufus navigating the baggage of both of their pasts. I love them both, so much, wily street rat Rufus and hardened veteran Sam, they just work together.
I enjoyed the narrator very much. the narrator can make or break an audio book for me and this one works really well, he gives each character a distinct voice and managed to capture the momentum of the story. Five stars all the way.
Excellent mystery - even better relatioship.

Rufus is still struggling with his mental illness, as well as being an informant for the NYPD. Sam is recovering from his most recent injury, and is struggling with civilian life. The two, on paper, shouldn’t work. Hell, Rufus questions them. But Sam is certain in his love for Rufus. So even though he hates the grossly expensive city, he’ll put up with it because this is Rufus’s home.
This time, though, things are getting dangerous. Well, at first interesting…and then dangerous. Sam’s past rears its ugly head, and he is thrown back into something he thought behind him. He’s always known something bad happened in his past – he just didn’t think he’d be able to do anything about it. When the bodies start piling up, though, he realizes he has to get involved.
Rufus will follow. He also tries to be the voice of reason, which is an interesting position for him to be. He believes in Sam – but maybe some things are just what they appear.
Except this is Poe and Ashe – so nothing is as it seems. I have to admit, I didn’t totally see the ending, although some elements fell into place more quickly than others – must be my devious mind.
Garrett Kiesel isn’t a narrator I’m familiar with, but he was just perfect for these two. I felt Sam and Rufus’s emotions even as I felt the chill from the New York winter. Enjoyed this one and will pick up more if they happen along.
In the cold winter chill
