Deep Threat

Billy Beckett, Book 1

By: Scott Pratt, Kelly Hodge

Narrated by: Tim Campbell

Jarvis Thompson, the most celebrated wide receiver in college football, vanishes along the Tennessee River in the middle of the night.

The circumstances surrounding the receiver’s disappearance are ominous: drugs, cash, and his mentor’s brother lying in a pool of blood.

It’s up to Jarvis’s mentor and soon-to-be agent Billy Beckett to investigate the mystery and find his beloved protege before the clock runs out. Was it a brazen kidnapping? A setup? Or did Jarvis get in too deep and run? In a frantic quest that takes Billy from the mountains of East Tennessee to the South Carolina coast to the gritty streets of New Orleans, the agent knows careers - and lives - are on the line.

As the two men’s pasts collide, both Jarvis and Billy are suddenly embroiled in a terrifying, high-stakes game where winners live and losers die.

Unbelievable

The story was okay until the last half where everything became more and more absurd. The narrator has a nice voice but he failed to add enough emotion or discernment between the characters to keep my attention.

Best narrator and author duo

I am sad, actually heartbroken to hear of Scott Pratts death. Mr. Pratt leaped to the top of my favorite author list after reading book 1- he had me at Joe Dillard. Mr. Campbell's narration and Pratt's characters/story line go together like "peas and carrots". I will look forward to new books authored by Kelly Hodge with hopes that his characters and writing style will be similar to Scott Pratt. Thanks for the great reading Mr. Pratt you will be missed.

Great Road Trip Book

The mix of sports and intrigue was ideal to keep our entire family engaged for the entire book.

Awesome!

Scott Pratt was truly a genius. Unfortunately, he is now a legend.

Thankfully his son carries forth the brilliant legacy.
This book is a testament to what could happen- and may be in some areas. Please, Don’t miss it.

Okay

It took me a bit to get into the story, but then I liked it.

I might try the second in the series.

Good narration.
