About this audiobook
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 fifteen 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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Another great book! Was hoping for a different ending. Good story
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Another great book written by this great author. I like when an authors books aren’t all the same, so when people say this is different than his first book. Well that is a good thing since he is a dynamic writer who has so much to offer. I have loved all his books and they keep you on edge from beginning to end. Always recommend his books to friends and family who ask what is a good read. I do my best to read and reread his books on vacation.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I actually listened to this book up to its last hour and then quit, so I guess I didn't really like it.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I loved ‘The Life We Bury’ so was eager to continue with the Max Walker story. Unfortunately this is more an action/guns blazing story (think David Baldacci), which is not my type of thing. It was fine, just not what I was expecting.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Allen Eskens is becoming one of my favourite authors. I loved this book. It is fast paced and intriguing. As a thriller it kept me on the edge of my seat and I would recommend it. Great narration as well.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Hard to keep track of who was criminal beyond characters
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Kept my attention from the opening sentence. A really fine piece of work, both by the author and the narrator.
