No One to Trust

De: Iris Johansen

Narrado por: Kate Burton

The number one New York Times best-selling author of Final Target, Iris Johansen raises the stakes and the heart rate with this relentless new thriller that follows the harrowing trail of a ruthless killer on the hunt - and the woman who is determined to hunt him down.

He is the most terrifying of killers: ruthless, cunning, charismatic. And he has the means to get whatever he wants. And what Rico Chavez wants most is Elena Kyler - and he wants her dead.

Trained as an assassin, Elena didn’t need anyone to survive. But now she finds herself on the run from one dangerous man and turning for help to another.

Sean Galen was a man without illusions. He knew it was only desperation that caused Elena to accept his help - a mother’s desperation to save her young son from a psychopath father who would raise their son in his own chilling image. And yet he was determined to get this woman who had never been able to trust anyone or anything in her whole life to accept him as her ally.

But both Galen and Elena know that Chavez’s power and wealth mean there is no place they can be safe and no one they can trust - not even each other. Already Chavez’s assassins and connections to those in the highest positions of power have turned this into a war with no rules.

With two shocking acts of brutal violence, Chavez shows he will stop at nothing and that nothing will stop him. Soon a trail of horrifying murders will follow Galen and Elena across country to a last stand and a shattering showdown. For Chavez is a master of control, and he wants more than just to take Elena’s life. He wants her alive long enough to see him destroy every reason she has for living. He wants her to turn against everything and everyone she ever believed in. He wants her to commit the ultimate act of betrayal. And by the time he is through, he wants her to beg him to take the only thing she’ll have left to give: her life.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"With its taut plot and complex characters, this is vintage, fan-pleasing Johansen." (Booklist)

No One To Trust

Excellent quick moving, writting. An intense read. I reccommend it highly!

Excellent book but read too fast.

The reader was so fast it was hard to understand her. Different voices were good the majority of the time but there were a couple of slips. Story line excellent & kept the listener not wanting to stop - the twists kept it from being too predictable.

Compared to 'Dead Aim' a dead loss

Iris Johansen's outlandish tales usually entertain the reader / listener with the struggles of the respective heroines to find their way in life, more or less grudgingly accepting the help of some special male. This time the story not only openly defies logic several times but also leaves a bad taste with it's careless treatment of the topic of rape. 'No(t) One To Trust' I usually listen to the sample, this time I didn't - and regretted it, since I had to suffer Galen's fake accent for seven long hours.
