Eddie's Boy

A Butcher's Boy Novel, Book 4

De: Thomas Perry

Narrado por: Michael Kramer

Michael Shaeffer is a retired American businessman, living peacefully in England with his aristocratic wife. But her annual summer party brings strangers to their house, and with them, an attempt on Michael's life. He is immediately thrust into action, luring his lethal pursuers to Australia before venturing into the lion's den - the States - to figure out why the mafia is after him again and how to stop them.

Eddie's Boy jumps between Michael's current predicament and the past, between the skillset he now ruthlessly and successfully employs and the training that made him what he is. We glimpse the days before he became the Butcher's Boy, the highly skilled mob hit man who pulled a slaughter job on some double-crossing clients and started a mob war, to his childhood spent apprenticed to Eddie, a seasoned hired assassin. And we watch him pit two prominent mafia families against each other to eliminate his enemies one by one.

He's meticulous in his approach, using his senior contact in the Organized Crime Division of the Justice Department for information, without ever allowing her to get too close to his trail. But will he be able to escape this new wave of young contract killers, or will the years finally catch up to him?

A 5 Star Story and Reading

this is up to the standard set by this author. I did not read it but listen to it on audible. The reader was outstanding. highly recommend

great butcher's boy but

great story has always felt that he dropped the ball in the last 3 chapters why would the mob boss go back to where it all started and only with six men knowing how vulnerable he could be it was too easy to kill sad but so often the last three chapters of a book are the weakest part of the story they don't need to be all in all though a great book enjoyed it and would read another

Thomas perry always delivers

Loved it. Just like the rest of the series. Main character is a bad guy that you can't help but like

Well Done

the story was a bit different than the first three but I would have expected some differences do to the Aging of the character. Good insights for the reader about the characters earlier years. I really enjoyed the book

Excellent, as they all are!

Thomas Perry and Michael Kramer are the perfect combination. And this is in my opinion is the perfect series. No matter what other people have said, I believe this book is just as good as the first three! It rounded out the whole story and ended very pleasingly. MICHAEL is my favorite antihero!

Eddie’s Boy is a sublimely good guy and a better villain

A Great author with one of my or perhaps my most favorite characters. I can read and then after a short time read again!

Excellent series ender……

This book really ties together the Butcher Boy series. I love the Narration and the way that the characters are so well developed. I’m sad to see it end

Classic Perry

If you enjoyed The Butcher’s Boy, you will love this. He is in fine form. And what a great backstory. Michael Cramer is the perfect narrator for this book.

Wonderful

Another wonderfully written book read by a wonderful reader. Please keep them coming! Love the butcher’s boy.

Excellent!!

strong story and excellent writing -- the last chapter of the Butcher Boy's final book was well done, matching the strength of the rest of the series.
