About this listen

After years of working the streets of Miami, veteran detective Jon Marzett craves a quieter life. Taking a job as sheriff in the sleepy town of Big Pine Key seems like the perfect place to wind down his career.

But the town harbors dark secrets, and corruption festers deep below the surface of what seems like paradise. Jon soon finds himself thrust into a battle against a powerful cartel determined to maintain its grip on his new hometown.

With his loyal dog, Max, by his side and the help of his sharp-witted deputy, Alvarez, Jon uncovers a dangerous web of violence and betrayal that reaches far beyond the peaceful facade of Big Pine Key. Each step closer to the truth brings him face-to-face with ruthless enemies who will stop at nothing to protect their empire.

As the stakes rise, Jon is forced to confront his past and push the limits of his resolve in a fight that could cost him everything. Caught between the life he wants and the battle he can’t walk away from, Jon must decide how far he’s willing to go to protect the people of Big Pine Key—and whether peace is something he’ll ever truly find.

If die hard John McLean had a police dog and retired to a quayside location to be the new sheriff in town I imagine this is how the story would go! Awesome book and great characters, lots of action and a clever loyal dog companion too

Action packed and great characters

i enjoyed the story line plenty of action but a bit predictable, sometimes the action seemed to easy could have been more deaths

I thought for the first few minutes that this might actually have a plot, but no. It’s just ‘bang, bang’ and all the bad guys are dead, with the ‘law’ acting like vigilantes.

There’s no investigation and the villains’ behaviour makes no sense, (with all that police investigation, any self-respecting ‘cartel’ would move operations elsewhere!) The author clearly has zero knowledge of law enforcement procedures and couldn’t care less about accuracy or logic.

Not quite sure why I bothered continuing to the end - probably because it was ‘included’ - but that’s it for me with this author unless there’s a massive improvement in plot development.

Oh dear
