About this listen

An unmissable John Corey novel from America's Greatest Living Thriller Writer.

'Bottom line, if a man is known by his enemies, I'm one helluva guy.'

Former anti-terrorist cop John Corey is NYU - New York Unemployed - and watching his back, ever more convinced his past will soon catch up with him. Then a new opportunity comes calling, and with it, plenty of trouble...

A series of bodies has been found along a beach close to his home and he can no longer deny that a serial killer is on the loose, and no one seems able to find the culprit. Is the failure to find the perpetrator a result of the department's oversight? Is it due to the fact the victims are prostitutes? Or is it something darker? Could the killer be someone on the inside?

John Corey must root out friend and foe in this dazzling thriller, which features his trademark snark, matched by brilliant investigative skills, and the masterful plot twists that are a signature of the American thriller legend Nelson DeMille.

Competent and enjoyable. But somewhat predictable. Scott Brick showed a bit more animation than in previous books where he sounded as if he was on Mogadon. He still had that dreary presentation for the lesser characters but his John Corey part was ok.

Nothing much. Pretty ordinary and predictable

Having read all the previous John Corey books , I was excited to find this one but very disappointed in the story which I felt was quite unbelievable in lots of places. Really seems to be set in another era. Not for me.

Disappointing

Another terrific listen that had me hooked & continually smiling at JCs dry wit & humour. Excellently read by Scott Brick once again.

Another Great Corey Story

Love love Nelson Demille normally .. but I felt this John Corey was too much about making one liners and not enough story. Yes some one liners were funny but there were too many and it detracted from any story and was a little predictable unfortunately. The main character trying to be constant smart arse and made the story less realistic and unbelievable ..

Slightly disappointing

I first came across Nelson Demille when I read Plum Island and since then Ive read and lovedevery one of his novels, especially the John Corey series. This one was not to the usual standard. It was in some ways saved by the excellent as ever Scott Brick narration. I think he and Jeff Harding stand at the pinnacle of audio book narrators.

As others have said, the story is very slow. Half way in and realistically all that has happened is that Corey has had an interview for a job. Yes, theres some subtext to it, and the base is being set for stuff that will come nearer the end, but after a while I was just wanting some story to develope.

Excellent humour in the John Corey dialogue, but it was possibly a bit over relied upon to plug an otherwise stretched out story.

Give us another one soon, just to show this was a mere blip.

Takes a long time to get started
