About this listen
An unknown invader - code name GRAY WOLF - commandeers a nuclear missile silo in North Dakota and threatens to launch a Minuteman III ICBM. The President's only containment option is to obliterate the Midwest's nuclear arsenal at a cost of millions of civilian lives.
Across the country in Key West, the world-renowned forensic sleuth Dr. Elliott Sumner is pulled into the international crisis moments after he spots a serial killer he put away for life. Elliott gets the call to examine hideously mutilated corpses found frozen solid in the wilderness. The macabre blood trail is the only way to identify GRAY WOLF, and give the President more options.
Setting aside a life-threatening condition, Sumner goes to North Dakota. Can Elliott solve the grisly international forensic puzzle, or will time run out? Can the launch of a rogue Minuteman III missile into the world be averted, or is a nuclear Armageddon the only outcome for the unimaginable terminal breach?

The story kept me hooked and I did not guess the ending.
My only criticism is there is quite few mnemonics which I found hard to keep up with.
Overall a very enjoyable listen..
a fast paced intriguing tale

It's an eclectic mix of political technothriller and serial killer/ forensic "detective" hunt down and capture, as we follow reluctant hero Dr Elliot Sumner to North Dakota on the trail initially of a serial killer with a very particular method of killing. We do find out why during the course of the story, and boy, does this book go places you would not think of! From this seemingly straightforward crime story, we barrel into a terrorist plot to steal the ability to and set off nuclear warheads to start the next world war.
An intelligent plot (some of the jargon was extensive but explained reasonably well), which wasn't preachy and very gripping, so devoured in 2 four and five hour slots, as I really wanted to know what happened next. The various characters were interesting, especially our main protagonist, and as I understand has a history detailed in 3 previous novels (of which I will definitely be reading), and we get a great insight into his life and thoughts and feelings. The subsidiary players were pretty well rounded too.
One very slightly poor point was the ending seemed rushed. We got a clear conclusion, but it was very quickly over and only a small epilogue explaining the aftermath. A small niggle though.
The narration was superb, by Holly Palance, who as you'd expect from that lineage and an accomplished actor herself, meant we got great pacing, intonation and characterisation.
Cross-genre, packed, thrill ride

The book is fast paced and there is so much going on that at times I did get a bit confused, but it’s one hell of a story, and quite frightening when you think that something like this really could happen one day! The locations are described so well that you feel you are there, especially those frozen landscapes of North Dakota. The characters are well developed, and you feel as though you really know each one. I understand that there are several previous books also featuring Elliot Sumner, but this one reads perfectly well as a standalone, though I will now be seeking out the other books to read.
I can really see this book as a movie on the big screen.
The narration by Holly Palance (daughter of Jack Palance) was excellent
