Publisher's summary

A secluded Montana ranch.

A family under siege.

A seductive wife.

And Jack Widow.

Once Quiet is a taut action thriller where Widow must fight against his insatiable feelings for a married woman in order to stop a sinister enemy that lurks in the shadows.

Lately, Widow has enjoyed a quiet life on the road with no troubles, but a lifestyle like his costs money. A low bank account balance causes Widow to take temporary work on a dying, secluded cattle ranch in Northern Montana.

Widow works for the Sossaman family, taking orders from a hauntingly beautiful wife named Crispin. Quickly, Widow grows attached to Crispin and her two sons. The quiet family life suits him. But his attachment to her may be more than attraction.

Two strange things are going on around the ranch. The first is that the husband has been in a mysterious coma for 10 years. He's wired to hospital machines, feeding tubes, and a breathing apparatus.

The second thing is that someone is watching the ranch. Someone with sinister intentions. Someone with a dangerous agenda.

Fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Tom Clancy, Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp, and Mark Greaney's Gray Man will enjoy the Jack Widow action-thriller series.

Once Quiet is the latest thrilling mystery in the Jack Widow series. Listen to it today!

I never get anything done...

Because all of these books (the first five for me) are so good and keep you moving onto the next story. Hard to take the time to not listen to what's going to happen next.

Better than several recent Reacher books

With this installment the series and the writing really hits its stride. This was really good and I look forward to moving on to the next one.

A Jack Widow fan - I want more.

I love the first Jack Widow book and was eager to listen to the next in the series. I love the narrator's voice and delivery.

The misogyny is disgusting

I like the story but I’m so sick of this supposed super skilled ex deep cover operative running into “spectacular” women and losing his da@n mind. It’s sick and not necessary. He talks about his mother teaching him to be a gentleman but he’s nothing but a lech

Lots of action!

Another small town that should be quiet but Widow finds himself sucked into protecting the innocent from assassins. Action packed but the ending is a bit anti climactic. Still looking forward to the next book.
