Publisher's summary

Method

He is the Closer - a remorseless executioner whose modus operandi is terrifying in its brutal simplicity. He captures his prey, tortures them until they confess their sins, and disposes of them as they deserve. His victims have only one thing in common: they are all serial killers.

Motive

Accompanied by a hardened ex-prostitute who lost her closest friends to a twisted murderer, the Closer is closing in on his ultimate quarry: an ingenious psychopath known as the Patron who must be stopped. For behind the façade of the Closer is a tortured man whose family the Patron slaughtered.

Madness

But even as the time for his revenge approaches, the Closer may be turning into what he despises most. Because with every violent act of retribution, he fears that he's no longer killing in the name of justice....

He’s killing because he likes it.

what stood out to me was how dark this book was, but it still had me glued to the end. Very well written. 👏

I disliked when Jack didn't acknowledge that Niki had saved his life. I think of our hero's as been considerate and he should of remembered she wasn't trained like himself.

A New Subject

Story line was a brand new one for me. Not really sure what the job titles would be. The narrator, Greg Maupin, made the characters alive.

Great book!

This story was well written, intriguing and very entertaining. I enjoyed the premise as well as the characters. I hope the author continues this series. It is very different from other thrillers that I have read and really holds your attention. I highly recommend The Closer if you enjoy mystery/thrillers. The narrator did a great job as well. Would not hesitate to listen to this author or narrator again.

Nearly speechless.

I don't even know where to start. This book was fascinating and I'm thrilled that there's another in the series. What a unique storyline and plot. I highly recommend it for anyone who doesn't have a weak stomach and loves being on the edge of their seat the entire book.!

Story was not believable & hard to follow.

Story was not believable & hard to follow. I don't know if I can attribute that to the author or the narrator. Found myself going back & listening to chapters again.
