About this listen

Van Shaw was raised to be a thief, but at the age of 18 he abruptly abandoned the illicit life and joined the US Army, leaving behind Seattle and his grandfather who taught him the trade.

But after 10 years of estrangement, Van's grandfather has suddenly asked him to come home. He does so only to find his grandfather shot in the head and bleeding out on the kitchen floor....

I love the Jack Reacher books also narrated by Jeff harding and so this book has a very similar feel. It's a great romp of a mystery thriller and I would read another in the series

Jeff harding can do no wrong!

Jeff Harding has such a distinctive style that it's hard to forget he's not reading Jack Reacher. I hung in and just kept listening and it was worth it. Good story that moved along nicely.

Jeff Harding - top narrator

Jeff Harding is Jack Reacher... The improved version. Not the serial killer but one with some morals. I could listen to Jeff read anything and find it essential not to miss a word. Jeff you're the best!

Hey guys! I've found Jack!

just read it, you won't regret it. Jeff Harding is magnificent as always, the story is superb, it's also great for audible.

brilliant

Quite tense throughout.
Main character extremely likeable & perhaps we'll hear more of him, I hope so.
Usually eschew anything that goes from present to past tense & back but this was skilfully done & fleshed out the characters.
A great story, would definitely recommend a listen/read.

Super listening enjoyment.

We always love anything Jeff Harding reads, his characterisations and his handling of drama and tension make even an average novel enjoyable. The book kept our interest and had a nice twist at the end, we might think about getting another in this series, if Jeff is reading it, that is.

smooth running despite going backwards and forwards on timeline. despite Van's gruffness and cynical outlook, you like the guy.

fantastic narration, good solid story, interesting characters
