Loss of Faith

A Gabriel de Sade Thriller, Book 2

De: Eric Meyer

Narrado por: Tim Welch

Losing Faith is the second book of the Faith series of novels about an NYPD detective and former Special Forces operative. Teamed with FBI Special Agent Faith Ward, their methods are always unconventional, often brutal, at times mystical.

New York homicide detective Gabriel de Sade juggles his days between the hunt for maniac killers and the continuing fight against the heavy hand of city bureaucracy. A bureaucracy that is uneasy at his heavy-handed way of dealing with suspects. But at least he has the support of his Chief, until they trade his detective skills with the CIA. In return for help to plug a leak in the Ninth Precinct, de Sade is to travel to Italy to recover a lost package.

When he refuses to be used as a pawn in their political games, the director of the CIA drops the bombshell. Faith Ward, de Sade’s former lover, travelled to Rome to retrieve the package and disappeared. The mission has become more than the recovery of a simple package. He is to locate her before she is killed. He has no choice but to accept. Yet the mission is far more than he could possibly have imagined. His former Special Forces partner, Jonas Savage, teams up to help, as well as a mysterious and lethal Russian girl, Galina Polotsova. Formerly a Spetsnaz operative, she now works as a mysterious troubleshooter for the Eastern Orthodox Church.

They travel to Rome and on to Southern Italy, to Calabria, to confront the 'Ndrangheta, the vicious local mafia. Yet the mission swerves in an unexpected direction to Jerusalem. And a threat to the stability of the civilized world.

A unique thriller that grabs the listener's interest from the first minute and never lets up.

Action Adventure

I was as entertained by this book as much as the first book in the series. The almost non-stop action kept my attention, plus I enjoyed all the twists which added to the story's excitement. I admired Gabriel de Sade's determined character which managed to power through all obstacles. I liked Jonas Savage's personality and his ability to arrange for materials in the operation. I appreciated the quotes regarding chess which I thought profound. I thought Tim Welch's narration was great as his performance kept my attention. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.
