Publisher's summary

When the world's most notorious cartel bosses get arrested, they call Benn Bluestone. A drug lawyer sharp enough to exploit loopholes in the system, Bluestone loves the money, the women, the action that come with his career...but working between the lines of justice and crime has taken its toll, and he desperately wants out. He's convinced himself that only an insanely rich client can guarantee him a lavish retirement.

When the New Year begins with three promising cases, Bluestone thinks he's hit pay dirt. But then the cases link dangerously together - and to his own past. Does the mysterious drug kingpin Sombra hold the key to Bluestone's ambitions? Or does the key open a door that could bring the entire federal justice system to a screeching halt and net Bluestone a life in jail without parole?

Meh

If you like narcissistic attorneys who believe that they live the life of a rockstar on the fringe of drug cartels you'll probably like this. I experimented with the speed at which the book reads just to get through it faster. didn't really care for the writing style and it felt like every sentence should end with 'see'. As in, I'm a wise guy see so therefore I am smarter and more crafty than other people see.

Entertaining and Suspensful

Enjoyed the book, story line and presentation, it held my interest and provided good listening.

Interesting Thriller

I don’t often read legal thrillers. This one, concerning a corrupt lawyer who specializes in representing narcos is a pleasant surprise. The novel has a lot of descriptive info about different countries that rings true. The plot was quite tight. The only reason that I gave 3 stars was the lack of depth in the characters and the authors over reliance on stereotypes.

okay story line

Kept me engaged, lead character was arrogant, obnoxious big city lawyer who is not as smart or brilliant as he thinks. I predicted the big twist about half way through but it was interesting.

Well done. entertaining and intelligent.

The reader was great. The story was well written and engaging, well worth the time.

Great book!

Great book and narration. Audible is the perfect app for driving on long distances. Thank you!

Very Good Story

The story was engaging and the narrator was excellent. It was very good to listen to.

Unexpectedly good

Love this story. It was as a glance on other life, other experiences. Excellent performance.

The Extraditionist by Todd Merer

This one eyed blind woman even, if I felt I had the right to withhiold a perfect score of five stars from a novel. I do not have that right if I believe the Novel deserves it.. The Exteaditionist does deserve five stars because I tried so hard to hate the star character I never could. I sure try hard to hate a perfectly despicable character created by Tod Merer right up to the last word spoken. Not possible!

Not great

The performance was really good. The story was a bit convoluted and hard to follow.
