Resumen del Editor

Bill Travis, an unmarried, unattached investment counselor rapidly approaching his fortieth birthday, conceives that he may not live the most exciting of lives, yet Julie Simmons, his first appointment that Monday, is deeply in trouble. She has taken a North Texas quarter horse racer and liquor baron named Archie Carpin - the last of a dynasty of criminals from the 1920's - for a ride and cleaned him out of a neat two million bucks. And thus begins the adventure of Bill's life.

Ensues a chase north across Texas to recover the money and shake the pursuit of a couple of rednecks with a penchant for rifles and rigged explosives. Yet, through all this action the compelling tale of yet another mystery-an 80-year old missing person's case-begins to unravel.

About the Author: This action/adventure mystery novel is the first of six completed novels in The Bill Travis Mysteries. With a total of twenty-one books planned for the series, including three prequels, Bill Travis, Austin, Texas' newest hero, is here to stay. George Wier has been writing for over twenty years. His most recent publishing credits include a contribution to Lone Star Noir (Akashic Books 2010). He lives in Austin, Texas with his lovely wife, Sallie.

Okay

Just wasn't that convincing for me. Some parts were too slow and then others moved too quickly.

Great

Excellent story and narration. Both will keep you mazmorized to the end. If you like great speaking voices I suggest this story whole heartily.

It didn’t hook and hold me.

Ok, but hard to really get into the story. It lacked those moments that draw you in.

Narrator was the best part

This was an enjoyable thriller about a flawed hero, a beautiful but ultra-flawed woman, and an unbelievable story about Texas criminals that spans decades. George Wier was the perfect voice for this novel. It's a nice diversion from reality.

Ok for a fairly quick read.

Even with all the crap that DOES go on in the world today, I found the storyline to be a bit far fetched for me. I liked the Bill Travis character, hated the Julie character. Living in the Austin area, I did enjoy the Austin, TX setting.

Good suspenseful, fast moving story Well read.

This was my first exposure to the author and the reader. Both have earned more of my time in the series to follow.

OK, barely

I can only hope that George Wier does not depend upon thriller lovers like me to buy his books for his sole source of income.

Nice easy listening.

Good book to listen to as you paint the bedroom. Narrator has very mellow voice.
