We All Fall Down

De: Michael Harvey

Narrado por: Stephen Hoye

Chicago cop turned private investigator Michael Kelly is racing to save his city from a deadly new foe: a biological weapon unleashed underground.

When a lightbulb falls in a subway tunnel, it releases a pathogen that could kill millions. While the mayor postures, people begin to die, especially on the city’s grim West Side. Hospitals become morgues. L trains are converted into rolling hearses. Finally, the government acts, sealing off entire sections of the city—but are they keeping people out or in? Meanwhile, Michael Kelly’s hunt for the people who poisoned his city takes him into the tangled underworld of Chicago’s West Side gangs and the even more frightening world of black biology—an elite discipline emerging from the nation’s premier labs, where scientists play God and will stop at nothing to preserve their secrecy.

It’s a brave new world . . . and the most audacious page-turner yet from an emerging modern master.

A killer ride through Chicago

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is a great book for all Michael Harvey fans. Make sure you read The Third Rail first since this is more of a part 2 than a stand alone novel. Still, his books are amazing. He gives you all the ingredients you need, and then starts cooking a complex and intense mystery. You think you know where the story is going and it veers off into an alley filled with danger and deceit. You won't want to put this book down.

What did you like best about this story?

The main character, Michael Kelly, reminds me of old time dectectives. He hunts down the answer no matter how his life is affected.

What does Stephen Hoye bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He is easy to listen to and to me sounds like Michael Harvey should.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

A deadly pathogen release isn't the most dangerous issue in Michael Kelly's Chicago. Will he have time to find out what is?

Any additional comments?

I recommend you read the Michael Kelly mysteries in order, and when you do you will be eager to read We All Fall Down.

Harvey Falls Down a Little.

A little more rambling than his other books. The subplots don't always seem to mesh together and don't keep your attention as well as, say, pulse and innocence game.
