About this listen

The harrowing call comes from the NYPD: Willy's ex-wife Mary has been found dead in her Lower East Side apartment, and Willy is asked to identify the body.

Torn from his beloved Vermont, Willy returns to the city of his hard-drinking youth with misgivings that deepen when he sees Mary's sad corpse on a gurney. Because of a fresh puncture mark in her arm, the police think she overdosed. But Willy has doubts.

Driven by loss and guilt, Willy searches deeper and deeper into his past, to a long-ago Vietnam where he was a merciless loner known as the Sniper. Soon he will answer for his old sins....and live up to his chilling nickname.

After 12 books I found this viewpoint both refreshing and engaging as the characters gained a more 3D impact. I am now regenerated to carry on

A nice change of perspective

I don't enjoy each Joe Gunther book equally but I do really enjoy the narration. I am quite addicted to Tom Taylorson's voice.
So I will continue with the series.

excellent narrator

A really enjoyable listening experience.

An absolutely fantastic book. Probably the best in the series so far. A side step into Willie Kunkels world, the true underdog and anti hero. I was gripped from start to finish and actually really sorry that it's finished. Really well narrated by Tom Taylorson as usual. Thank you.

Willie Kunkel... Take a bow

Story and narration are great, however I’m not sure Willy is the best name for a lead character…I mean, with people being slapped by Willy and surprised by Willy and grabbing Willy…

Willy is everywhere
