Summary
A former Medal of Valor winner, Minnesota detective Alexander Rupert is now under subpoena by a grand jury on suspicion of corruption. So when he's asked to look into the false identity of a car-accident victim named James Putnam, a man who in fact died 15 years earlier, Rupert sees a potentially big case and an opportunity to regain his respectability.
But the investigation puts him in the path of "the Beast", the nom de guerre of Drago Basta, a cunning veteran of the Balkan wars and a sociopath assassin who has been searching for Putnam for years. Putnam had something that Basta still wants. If Rupert's life was in shambles before, it's now also in danger. Threatened by the Beast and suspecting his wife of cheating, Rupert falls for the seductions of the dead man's former girlfriend. As he feels his life spinning out of control, his steadfast brother and fellow police detective Max may be Rupert's last hope.

Not a patch on the first book
I read Book 1 of the series and thoroughly enjoyed it. This one however was very disappointing. The grating drawl of the narrator did not help - his voice was just irritating. The plot was totally implausible in so many different ways. I listened because it was free from the Plus catalogue but I don’t recommend.

No thanks
I thought this might be an interesting investigation but the nasty evil violence has made me stop listening. No thanks

Good story but still waiting for Joe Talbert
Well paced story and the narration is pretty good.
I really enjoyed Book 1 in the Joe Talbert series but Joe is kinda missing in this book …… maybe rename the series?

Clever story
Having loved the previous book by Allen Eskens I was hopeful this would be just as good. Unfortunately it wasn’t, the narrator was dreadful particularly when narrating female parts. Lost track of the story a few times because of this.

Trad US procedural
3.75⭐️ A slow build which drew me in with its plot complexity. I didn’t gel with the narrator. Not in the same league as the first book, I didn’t get on board with the MC the same as with Joe.

Enjoyable story well written
I enjoyed the story. Allen Eskens writes really well. Narrator lets it down. First book in series was narrated really well. This narrator makes all the female voices sound like cartoon characters which was very off-putting.
