Resumen del Editor

In New York Times best-selling author Joseph Finder's electrifying new thriller, private investigator Nick Heller infiltrates a powerful wealthy family hiding something sinister.

Nick Heller is at the top of his game when he receives some devastating news: His old army buddy, Sean, has died of an overdose. Sean, who once saved Nick’s life, got addicted to opioids after returning home wounded from war.

Then, at Sean’s funeral, a stranger approaches Nick with a job, and maybe also a way for Nick to hold someone accountable.

The woman is the daughter of a pharmaceutical kingpin worth billions. Now, she wants to become a whistleblower, exposing her father and his company for burying evidence that its biggest money-maker was dangerously addictive. It was a lie that killed hundreds of thousands of people, including Sean.

All Nick has to do is find the document that proves the family knew the drug’s dangers. But Nick soon realizes that the sins of the patriarch are just the beginning.

Beneath the surface are barely concealed cabals and conspiracies: a twisting story of family intrigue and lethal corporate machinations. In a deadly game of chess that pits Nick against a family dynasty, against brothers and sisters with schemes of their own, Nick learns how far his enemy is willing to go to protect its name and its wealth.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Joseph Finder is incapable of writing a bad thriller. I’d follow Nick Heller anywhere." (C. J. Box, number-one New York Times best-selling author of Long Range)

"Finder is a master of the narrow escape...Finder’s characterization of Heller gets more layered with every installment. The way Heller moves through the mystery, using social skills, street smarts, and technology to get in and out of trouble, is breathtaking. Excruciating suspense." (Booklist)

"Fans of timely, thoughtful page-turners will be richly rewarded." (Publishers Weekly)

another great book in the Heller series

Joseph Finder does it again. Great research and character build up. I was googling bashbunny and boscloner security devices to learn more information about them

Enjoyable, realistic,

And enjoyable story accurate what’s going on in this world today? It’s accurate on the facts that are given about opioid.

great narration

I really enjoyed this read. the ending was farely predictable but still the entertainment was quite enjoyable.

wow

loved it and hated to see it end.
best book I have heard in a very long time.

Great story

Grisham has written a book with lots of twists and turns. I enjoyed it immensely! It certainly holds your attention throughout.

Great listening!

This was a new author for me and I really enjoyed this book. I didn't want to stop listening to it. Great book! I didn't guess who was the killer.

pulled me right in

Was looking for a good mystery book to listen to while at work and found this book. Didn't have high hopes for it as I thought it would be a long boring story, but I found my self pulled right into the story until the last second. There were a few times when I realized that I had stopped working and fully part of the story. Ill probably go back and read his other books now.

Finder Again Has a Winner

Always entertaining...love the irredeemable father..he is always in the background. The family bears a close relation to that in HBOs "Sucession". Glad I had seen it because the characters came to mind. Love Nick Heller.

House on Fire

I really enjoyed this audio book. Good story. The only bad thing is waiting for the next book.
Thank you Mr. Finder and Mr. Graham

Boring

This novel is a long drawn out slow moving detective novel involving characters I found hard to like or care about.
Narration was weak. Many different voices sounded the same.
