Publisher's summary

From the #1 bestselling author of the Harry Bosch and the Lincoln Lawyer series and who "is the master of the universe in which he lives" (Huffington Post), comes the gripping novel that inspired the film starring Clint Eastwood.

When Graciella Rivers steps onto his boat, ex-FBI agent Terrell McCaleb has no idea he's about to come out of retirement. He's recuperating from a heart transplant and avoiding anything stressful. But when Graciella tells him the way her sister, Gloria, was murdered, Terry realizes he has no choice. Now the man with the new heart vows to take down a predator without a soul. For Gloria's killer shatters every rule that McCaleb ever learned in his years with the Bureau-as McCaleb gets no more second chances at life...and just one shot at the truth.

Dick Hill, Michael Connelly works again

Micheal Connelly has a formula, be it Bosch, McCabel or Haller, it works. The pace is quick, not too fast, the story well thought out and reasonable, and characters believable. So far, I have enjoyed them all, in print and by audible. Dick Hill is as liked on the audible circuit as any reader, and for good reason.

A Classic Whodunit

I've listened to most of Connelly's books and this one hooked me from the getgo. I could not turn it off. I went through it like a hot knife through butter. I finest it last night and will listen to it again starting tonight. You're going love it!!!

Makes me want to see the movie!

Great suspense and with all mysteries the turn at the end was a surprise! Narrator's voice had enough of a change so you knew which character was speaking, which made the story interesting!

Perfection

The story, the writing, the reading of it. Everything I want in a book/audio book. The story had me from the very beginning and I looked forward to getting back to it every time I had to step away. Michael Connelly is the real deal! I’ve only recently discovered him and I can’t stop singing his praises!

Incredible early work from Michael Connelly!

The book is well written, the plot and characters well developed. But the star of the show is the narration done by Duck Hill...superb!!

What a wild ride

This story has more twist and turns than a roller coaster. Every time you think you have it figured out there is another surprise.

Gripping

This is the best audiobook I’ve listened to so far and I’ve listened to a lot. The acting was superb. The story was griping. I hate it ended.

Twists and turns

There were so many twists in this story. It kept my attention to the very end. I have listened to most of Connelly's recent novels and was surprised to find that this older one was just as entertaining. Dick Hill does a fantastic job as narrator.
