Broken Truth

De: Reavis Z. Wortham

Narrado por: Eric G. Dove

The endless Texas landscape hides all manner of sins…

Special Agent Tucker Snow knows there's big money roaming the fields under the wide Texas sky—and the cattle rustlers committing large-scale thefts on remote ranches know it, too. But when a prominent local rancher dies unexpectedly and his property is quietly sold to an unknown buyer, Tucker suspects there's something more sinister going on in his jurisdiction than the usual steal-and-resell racket. Still raw after the tragic death of his wife and young daughter, the lawman can't bear the thought of more innocent lives destroyed by people whose greed poisons everything around them.

Working alongside his brother, Harley, Tucker uncovers a dark ring of organized crime that goes well beyond cattle rustling—a breed of deception and greed that has turned into a silent killer and will take down anyone who crosses its path. The question is whether Tuck and Harley will be able to shut it down before it finds the people they love the most…

New York Times bestselling author Reavis Wortham brings listeners deep into the heart of Texas in the latest book in his acclaimed thriller series.

Love the Down to Earth Snow brothers

I love the regular small/rural vernacular in this series!! I also like the way the Snow brothers’ characters balance each other out. I like the inclusion of the supporting cast as more than filler. It’s awesome to read about females with guns that hold their own & kick butt without being a sidekick or a gun-nut crackpot!! It was also nice to see a black person be a central part of the story that wasn’t portrayed a gangbanger, thug, sidekick or athlete. It’s too bad he was still the bad guy. Lastly, hats off to the bad guy turned good guy!!!

One of Wortham's Best

The story begins with cattle rustling and ends with murder. The path between them is not straight, and the moral of the story is, "Don't threaten the families of the Snow brothers."

Reavis Wortham evokes the atmosphere of southwestern cowboy culture as well as any writer I've read. My uncle was a USDA herd inspector in the Texas panhandle and southeastern New Mexico, and I could hear his voice telling every piece of this story.

The characters are ... characters, and they fit the story well. The Snows are hard-bitten old Texas lawmen and their families have been raised to take care of themselves. The enemies are a bit oversold, but there are reasons for what they're doing, and they use all of their considerable resources in an effort to get out of the situation they find themselves in.

The story is tightly crafted, with no time for a rest, or even a spare breath, from start to finish. I could have done without some of the cultural commentary, but even that was completely consistent with the characters in the story.

I had had a run of weak books in the last few days, and had almost forgotten how refreshing a really good book is.

The best book of the month for me on the last day of the month. Highly recommended.
