About this listen
Midnight on a moonlit beach. Six cops execute four thugs after a heinous crime. They are unaware that there is a witness to the executions. Thrilling action explores tactical, ethical, and criminal choices made by officers of the law. A stark image of moral ambiguity underpins their struggle to maintain courageous and precarious control of all-engulfing crime. Plain-dealing cops face scrutiny in an emotional journey through choices made in the day-to-day confrontation with evil.

Very clear narration. Good speech. Good accents. Good resonant voice. Excellent studio quality.What did you like best about this story?
There is a fantastic second-last chapter where there are car chases, shoot-outs, cliff-hanging clashes, and just when you think it's all over, with a lovely denouement, there's another up-tick of excitement in the very last chapter.

Thrills on every page, characters subtle and complex and intelligent and very colorful.What was one of the most memorable moments of Plain Dealing?
The closing scene of the chapter (forget which number) that is headlined "Wednesday". That scene was breathtakingly shocking and so, so very sad. My goodness. I needed handkerchiefs.Have you listened to any of Ian Patrick’s other performances? How does this one compare?
No others yet, but I'm getting the first book in the series next.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes and no. I couldn't wait for the next scene in each case, but on the other hand I wanted to savor it in chunk-sizes.Any additional comments?
I love these detectives. Such a change from the old seedy alcoholic troubled detectives that have become the norm. These detectives are a cross between Jack Reacher and Jason Bourne.Immensely satisfying
