Publisher's summary

"Cast the First Stone is a mind-bender of the first order. Fast-paced, strong characters, great twists and Rembrandt Stone is a hero I predict will be grabbing readers around the throat for a long time. This is one to pick up because you won’t want to put it down.” (Ted Dekker, New York Times best-selling author)

One case haunts him. One chance to fix the past. One mistake could cost him everything.

Ex-Minneapolis Police Detective Rembrandt Stone walked away from a career he loved - just the price of being sure he can come home to the wife and daughter he cherishes. But he can’t shake the deep regret over a case left behind.

When his mentor, the former Chief of Homicide dies and leaves Rembrandt with a box of cold cases and a mysterious watch, he finds himself thrust into a world he recognizes - a world from 20 years ago - the same world he’s woken from in a cold sweat a hundred times. But is it a dream, or some kind of twisted reality?

If he solves the case that plagues him, and justice is finally served, will it destroy the life he loves?

Strap in for a mind-bending, time-travel thrill ride in Book One of this exciting new series, The True Lies of Rembrandt Stone.

“Cast the First Stone grabs the crime genre by the collar and shows it a thing or two! With time travel, cold cases, and flawed, relatable characters who feel like old friends, this story hooked me from the very first line. Sleep? Who needs sleep? Give me a True Lies of Rembrandt Stone novel. Masterful writing from three powerhouse storytellers.” (New York Times best-selling author Tosca Lee)

"Holy what?! DO NOT MISS THIS STORY! David James Warren kills it with this time-travel story that explores regrets and mistakes and the importance of living in the now. I tried explaining to Rembrandt Stone the dangers of messing with the timeline, but would he listen? Of course, not. This was truly a riveting story that gutted me! Now. Where the fluff is book two?" (Ronie Kendig, author of the best-selling, award-winning The Tox Files)

Overall, a disappointment

The story was just a very typical who done it. I love turn travel, but this idiot detective thought he was in a dream throughout most of the book. the narrator's voice was great, until he became his boss's voice, which was a bit much, like a deep voice and a mouth full of donuts! Definitely one of the worst books I've listened to on Audible, a waste of a credit.

Startling twists!

What a fantastic performance and a great story. Noir and clean. I loved it! The voice of James L Rubart made for a delightful experience. But, boy, the twist!!

Time travel adventure

Rembrandt Stone is haunted by past unsolved cases. He has married his dream and they have a beautiful daughter. But nightmares interrupt his sleep. When he gets an unexpected second chance at the biggest case he left unfinished, he uses his historical knowledge to change the past not thinking of the fallout. Now his life is altered and he must return to the past again to set things right. Great story. If you’re looking for a fun, family-friendly way to fill a car ride, this is it. I’m looking forward to the next installment.
