Publisher's summary

Convicted of insider trading, Jamison Maddox reluctantly accepts a mysterious job that soon takes an ominous twist, sending him on the run from powerful and deadly forces in the latest thriller from Barry Award and Edgar Award finalist Mike Lawson.

With his reputation permanently marred by an insider trading conviction, Jamison Maddox, a young Wall Street broker, reluctantly takes a job doing research for a small company in the sleepy town of Redemption, Illinois. He’s never heard of the company, or of the town, but he’s out of money and options. Though Jamison notices right away that everyone in Redemption is in some way related to one another, the big city boy chalks it up to small-town ways. And as for the company’s seemingly extreme security practices, Jamison was planning on minding his own business anyway.

But when he falls in love with a beautiful and enigmatic colleague, Gillian, Jamison begins to realize that he may be doing illegal work for the company. So when she asks him to run away with her, he agrees wholeheartedly. The two set off across the country, hoping to secure some money and go into hiding. The company is soon on their tails, pursuing them with the single-minded goal of silencing them forever.

If Jamison hadn’t realized how dangerous these people really are, he now realizes they will stop at nothing to protect the company. And he has no idea that his lover, a stunning woman shrouded in mystery, is as dangerous as the people he’s running from.

Clever

Narrration: thoughtfully paced and meaningfully nuanced.

Story is interesting and captivating, something new or at least near-new.

Fantastic

Loved the book and the narration. I hope to find more titles like this one.

Good story, good character development, well told

I was pleasantly surprised by how good this book was :). It could have been much longer, but I don't feel robbed. The ending adds a ton of information to tie up many loose ends in a summary fashion. though there was still one key aspect left unanswered. Overall I recommend this book and would pick up another novel by Mike Lawson.

Enjoyed it a lot

Also have enjoyed the 16 deMarco books by the same author. Excellent performance as well.

Very enjoyable story.

Listened to this twice, and I really liked it. Some was a bit close to reality, but it was exciting and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

Pun Bandhu was a wonderful narrator.

Awesome!!!

This was one of the best books I’ve listened to in years. I’ll be looking for more books by this author.

Great listen

I finished this in 2 days that’s how good the story line is. Don’t miss out on this one!

Great read.

Really exciting and well done espionage novel. Great narration as well. I hope there is a sequel!

Redemption

Excellent book and reader. This is my first book by Mike Lawson and I will get another one. The story line is believable and, in fact, some of it has already happened in the U. S. The characters came to life as I listened and I had, in my mind, a visual of the settings and the characters. I highly recommend this book.

Very Political

If you don’t mind a politically motivated book, then you might like this one. I found it interesting, but, if I had known how political it was, I probably would not have wanted to read it, because of the awful way things are going in America during this time, in 2022.
