About this listen

After a grisly murder in a shabby New York bookstore, Detective Callum Doyle starts receiving sinister phone calls. Doyle is told more deaths are planned but the caller will give him clues, on the condition that he keeps them to himself. As more vicious deaths follow, the pressure on Doyle to find a link becomes unbearable. Does he continue to gamble with people’s lives? Or should he sacrifice everything to defeat a ruthless and manipulative enemy?

A well put together, keep you guessing story, as. All these author's books are. The different characters are well-defined and easily identifiable. I just wonder how many more stories can be written targeting this one cop. The narration is superb and the voices great.

This book does seem to have mixed reviews. But I found it gripping and an excellent sequel to pariah. I look forward to listening to the last 2 books in this series. Brilliant!

Fantastic book!
