Counterfeit Lies

By: Oliver North, Bob Hamer

Narrated by: Peyton Tochterman

From Oliver North—whose New York Times bestseller Heroes Proved was praised by Sean Hannity as “a heart-thumping ‘must-read’ for every American”—comes a gripping, nonstop thriller that could only be written by someone who has “been there, done that.”

Veteran undercover FBI agent Jake Kruse is investigating a smuggling ring in southern California when his assignment is cut short. A prominent criminal defense attorney wants to hire Jake on another kind of mission: to kill the daughter of a local crime boss.

What began as a “contract killing” soon captures the attention of the CIA, the US Secret Service, and high-level officials in Washington. The undercover agent is plunged into a deadly underworld of North Korean espionage, Hezbollah terror, and the sinister deception Iran uses to acquire nuclear weapons. Caught in a web of international intrigue that goes to the top of the US government, Kruse is forced to confront the ultimate moral quandary: doing what’s right when everything seems wrong.

Now, national security expert and decorated war hero Oliver North and former US Marine and FBI undercover agent Bob Hamer bring their real life experience to this tightly written tale of international intrigue and down-to-the-wire suspense. They say it’s fiction. But it’s all too real.

Oliver North is Amazing

Seldom do works of fiction reek of factually accurate scenarios that could easily have come from the files of government. Ollie North has the been there done that experience and unique contacts that support the other story line elements. That is but one of the things that sets him apart as one of the best story tellers in America!!!

Very entertaining

Great story of suspense. You'll be pulling for the main character the entire book. Maybe to realistic.

Write more....Couldn't stop listening!!

I love how he puts today's real issues in a "fictional" story. Wish he would write more!!!

Good story but so-so voice

Where does Counterfeit Lies rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's not the worst book by any stretch but as a cop some the male bravado seemed cheesy and overdone. The story was good, interesting and I enjoyed a different story background/build up than I've had before. Tochterman's voice was not remotely a favorite of mine. It seemed too contrived and I had hard time with the believably of it.
