First Do No Harm

De: Joe Kenda

Narrado por: Joe Kenda, Bradford Hastings

Former homicide detective and star of Investigation Discovery, Joe Kenda follows his authentic and fascinating debut novel with First Do No Harm, another addictive tale of crime and punishment as only he can tell it.

A string of overdoses in Colorado Springs has Detectives Joe Kenda and Lee Wilson on the lookout for a bad batch of heroin that has been cut with a drug they’ve never seen before.

Meanwhile, at Springs General Hospital, Dr. Blair Moreland—the notoriously unpleasant head anesthesiologist—has found a way to feed his deepening addiction to the very same powerful new drug: fentanyl.

But when Dr. Moreland starts supplying the dangerous painkiller to dealer Lula Lopez—planning to manufacture the drug himself—he angers a Mexican crime syndicate and sets into motion a cycle of death and violence that threatens to engulf the entire city.

Detectives Kenda and Wilson must track down the source of this killer heroin before anyone else can overdose—and stop Moreland before he can escape the long arm of the law.

Reseñas de la Crítica

A Hasty Book List Pick

The interwoven plot

Love the author’s voice and characterization of the villains and protagonists. Reads like an extended episode of Detective Kenda’s case files. An impressive work of fiction and commentary on this very lethal drug.

Narration was excellent

The story keeps you engaged. You find it hard to stop. I thoroughly enjoyed this book

how did fentanyl get to Colorado Springs?

Ex-homicide police detective, Joe Kenda, writes a fictional story of how fentanyl made its way to Colorado Springs bask in the late 1970s. The author says before the story starts that the story is fiction but based on a summary of the many cases he worked that gave him experience in working these types of cases

An easy listen it is informative. You can extrapolate this across the United States and see how it evolved to where it is now.

The story line
