Acerca de esta escucha
In the midst of substantial personal loss and scandal, six-foot-six Gunsten Søren Pedersen, the Detroit Tigers’ worshipped, veteran fence-swinger, walked away from his career and sport that he loved. Retiring to the tranquil solitude of Minnesota’s North Woods, disgraced, Gun left behind disappointed fans and searing press coverage. But a millionaire real estate investor is out to tear up Gun’s new turf. Loon Country Attractions, to be built on Gun’s piece of paradise, comes replete with an amusement park, convention center, and shopping super-center—with vast environmental degradation to boot. The townsfolk are divided, and Gun is further pulled into the center of the chaos when his daughter becomes pawn in a political campaign that’s turned ugly. Gun seizes the opportunity for redemption, fighting for everything that he holds dear. Fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Craig Johnson's Longmire, and Nevada Barr's Anna Pigeon, enjoy the Engers' Gun Pedersen.
***PRAISE FOR THE GUN PEDERSEN SERIES***
COMEBACK:
“A well-written, fast-reading thriller. . . . It’s got everything.”
—Minneapolis St. Paul Magazine
“Comeback is so good, you want to sit down and read it all at once. It’s got love and shame and money and the Minnesota woods and lakes, and dark mystery, and a reluctant hero, and it’s written with humor and passion.”
—Garrison Keillor
SWING:
“Solidly entertaining.”
—ALA Booklist
“In Swing, the plot twists as unpredictably as a hangman’s rope. Swing has muscle (and heart, too).”
—Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine
“[A] sure hit.”
—R.D. Zimmerman, author of Deadfall in Berlin
STRIKE:
“Compelling.”
—Publishers Weekly
SACRIFICE:
“Sacrifice is the best novel I’ve read this year. Not just the best mystery, but the best novel, period.”
—Jeremiah Healy, author of the John Francis Cuddy series
“Sharp and engaging!”
—Minneapolis Star Tribune
THE SINNERS’ LEAGUE:
“[A] revelation . . .”
—Booklist

Gunsten Søren Pedersen knew about baseball and death. A tragedy took the former slugger out of the major leagues, and the only diamonds he sees now are the stars shining in the cold night of Minnesota's North Woods. That is, until Miles Gates—an old friend in big trouble—calls him down to the Sunshine State. What Gun finds there is a trail of brutal killings, some aging ballplayers, shady characters, and the beautiful sister of a reporter who died for his story. Gun discovers the truth behind the murder spree, and he strikes at it as hard as he ever hit a fastball in his prime. But in ...

In 1886, Gretta Pope wakes one morning to discover that her husband is gone. Ulysses Pope has left his family behind on the far edge of Minnesota’s western prairie, with only the briefest of notes and no explanation for why he left or where he’s headed. It doesn’t take long for Gretta’s young sons, Eli and Danny, to set off after him, following the scant clues they can find, jumping trains to get where they need to go, and ending up in the rugged badlands of Montana.

No to AI narration
This might be a good story, but the narration was so flat it put me to sleep. Drone, drone on! And when two characters were conversing on the phone you couldn’t even tell which one was talking! Thumbs down!
