Publisher's summary
New City. New Job. Same broken heart. So much for a leaving it all behind.
A millionaire’s missing computer, their dead housekeeper and a family secret hidden in plain sight: these are the elements of a most unusual case quite literally handed to Detective Vasily Korsokovach moments after arriving at John Wayne International in Southern California. Put into the awkward position of cleaning up a colleague’s sloppy investigation, Vasily immediately finds himself on the defensive after he begins asking uncomfortable questions in pursuit of the truth. And when he pulls a thread that inadvertently connects to a decades-old suspicious death that has a personal connection to the department, he encounters uncompromising and outdated attitudes in the one place he least expects to find them.
While he’d hoped for a fresh start, this wasn’t exactly what he had in mind.
Alone and truly on his own for the first time in years, Vasily buries himself in his initial case as lead detective and leans heavily on a new friend – one who he hopes could become something more, replacing the ache in his soul that has dogged him since leaving everything he loved behind in Windeport. Broken hearts have a way of blinding one to everything else that is important, though, and Vasily is no exception to that rule...

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

Spring: the season of renewal. For Vasily Korsokovach, it feels especially true: newly reinstated to his original position after a string of successful case closures, his life in Southern California appears to finally be back on track. That’s despite having been the key witness in an Internal Affairs investigation that takes down his former colleague (and one-time lover) — a role that does nothing to endear him to the rank-and-file of the Rancho Linda Police Department — and the nagging concern that said colleague seems to feel there are still scores to be settled.

Astonished
This book is surprisingly good for a virtual voice. Most times I actually felt I was listening to a regular narrator except for a few inflections in the speech it should have used to define certain moods of the characters. The story was captivating. Well thought our and suspenseful. My only criticism is that I wish the books were numbered so I would know the order of the books.
