Publisher's summary

Audie Award Finalist, Thriller/Suspense, 2014

For 25 years, Robert Crais has written extraordinary novels of crime and suspense. He is "a master of crime fiction" (Associated Press); "his novels get better with every new book" (Portland Oregonian); "Crais is hands-down the world’s greatest crime writer" (The Huffington Post).

But in Suspect, he may have written his most remarkable novel of all.

LAPD cop Scott James is not doing so well, not since a shocking nighttime assault by unidentified men killed his partner, Stephanie, nearly killed him, and left him enraged, ashamed, and ready to explode. He is unfit for duty - until he meets his new partner.

Maggie is not doing so well, either. The German shepherd survived three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan sniffing explosives before she lost her handler to an IED and sniper attack, and her PTSD is as bad as Scott’s.

They are each other’s last chance. He was a young cop on the rise; she was bred to guard and protect. Now they are shunned and shunted to the side. They are suspect. And together they will set out to investigate the one case that no one wants them to touch: the identity of the men who murdered Stephanie.

Nine months and sixteen days later, they remained free. They were still out there.

What they begin to find is nothing like what Scott has been told, and where it will lead them will take them both through the darkest moments of their own personal hells. Whether they will make it out again, no one can say.

Thrilling, emotional, intense, with some of the best characters and well-crafted writing in all of crime fiction, Suspect is further proof that "Crais just keeps getting better" (Publishers Weekly).

different

I enjoyed Maggie's perspectives. Predictable man gets careless because he's impatient interjection. Overall, held my attention and looking for more.

Its all about the dog!

Loved this book—we are long-time dog lovers and this story was perfect for us. I would love to see more adventures with these two.

Kept My Interest

I loved hearing the story told not only from the main character’s perspective but also from the dog’s. It was obvious that the author either researched working dogs thoroughly or knows a working dog personally.

Loved it!

I loved this book. I listened to it whenever I could.
Possible spoiler:
I usually don't listen to books with dogs in it bc they usually make me cry. This book did not make me cry lol. So, if you are sensitive to animals you should be able to handle this book and actually enjoy it!

Very Entertaining

Was entertained .....and enjoyed listening to this boo!k. The story line was well written and contained plenty of excitement, from start to finish. I especially enjoyed the well researched character of Maggie, the German Shepard police dog, who's character added a refreshing twist to the story line.
Andrews was new to me, as was Crais , but he did a superb job with narration.
Although crime detective type books aren't really my favorites, I plan to read more by Crais..., especially any that are performed by MacLeod Andrews.

Thoroughly enjoyable!

I loves the story, the narration and the ending. As far as I'm concerned this was one of the best books I've heard lately.

loved it

very good storyline, love the characters. the narration was also very good. would love to read a few more of these

great voice good story

description of what Maggie was feeling, smelling, and training was incredible. all she went through. Her unconditional love!

Powerful tale of recovery.

I loved this book. I was afraid I wouldn't feel that way after the first chapter, only because it was so well done and created such a powerful impact. But, in spite of the initial pain, and maybe partly because of it, I fell in love with the main characters, Scott & Maggie. Crais weaves a suspenseful tale with characters who come alive due to the magnificent performance of MacLeod Andrews. He has the animation in his voice and the ability to clearly distinguish the personalities of the different characters. It is a pleasure to hear him bring the story to life. I have already ordered the next book in this series and look forward to listening to Andrews providing another stellar performance of what I am sure will be a terrific tale.

the best! !!!

in my opinion, the best Robert Crais book so far. liked it even more than Elvis Cole and Joe Pike. so pleasantly surprised! couldn't stop listening! !
