Publisher's summary

Jon Reznick has never played by the rules, a trait that has brought him into conflict with FBI Assistant Director Martha Meyerstein in the past. But now Meyerstein has been taken by a shadowy gang, and the renegade black-ops specialist may be her only hope for rescue.

The FBI are reluctant to let Reznick anywhere near the case, but he's not in the habit of seeking their permission - especially once his covert investigation leads him straight to the head of the Russian Mob. And it soon becomes clear that it's not only Meyerstein who's in danger: her abduction is just the start of a campaign to undermine American law and order.

With Meyerstein's whereabouts unknown, and the CIA and FBI seemingly operating at cross-purposes, it falls to Reznick to go it alone. Can he get to Meyerstein before the mob get to him?

Really great story! Love Jon Reznick..


Okay, I thought the last book was my favorite but I’ve changed my mine. I liked this one best.
Martha Meyerstein was kidnapped and the immediate world was looking for her, and then Jon Reznick got involved and all the killing and excitement began. I’ll tell ya’ those Russian mobsters are some really bad people no matter who writes the book. There’s nothing nice about them, at all.

I was surprised at Curt White of the CIA. I mean he shot Reznick to take the guy Reznick had questioned, about the whereabouts of Martha, and everyone knew it but it seemed to be okay. WTH? A CIA agent can shoot someone whose working with the FBI and nothing is done about it? Yeah, I don’t get that.

Anyway, I’m off to read book 5 in this series.

Nothing romantic and the F-bomb, if you can believe it, was used 128 times. Wow!

As to the narration: Great men’s voices but Jeffrey Kafer still stinks at women’s voices. He does have a really nice reading voice, though.

Great Series

This is another excellent thriller in the Jon Reznick series. I listened to all four consecutively and am sorry I hit the end.
The protagonist in this book is a very believable character. With all the action and scenarios in each of these books there is never a dull moment. The book are only about 6 hours with the first being about 8 hours. This author doesn't use any extra words , no fillers to lengthen the books so they are basically nonstop action from beginning to end.
If you have kindle unlimited books 2,3 and 4 have FREE Audible narration included.
Jeffrey Kafer does an outstanding job narrating.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the entire series.

Not the best

The story seems like it was strain more of an afterthought than a good idea. I don't know what the authors infatuation with the f word is, but true professionals do not speak like this. I bet if you get a word count, you can probably take a hundred words out of this book if you remove them all. the way he keeps repeating himself, adding extra descriptives and needless information, it seems like he was aiming for a longer page count with anything.

One of the better Reznick series books

I wish Mr. Turner would simply disclose to his fans of his books/readers that HE is someone who Loves Isreal. Fact being, the Mosaad does NOT give intel to the CIA. However, before the False Flag so-called Boston Bombing. It was Russia who tried to warn the U.S.

Please, just do your own unbias, objective research. Stop depending on the very same folks who told us Saddam had WMDs not 18 months after 9/11.

The original Reznick is finally back

This book was much more to the character's rogue traits, and therefore a return to the personality he was introduced as in the first book. When his friend at the FBI is abducted, he's willing to work with the FBI to help get her back. He's also just as willing to tell them all where to go if it means getting her back. Investigating on his own is entirely acceptable in his mind, and that's the character I've wanted to read more about since I finished reading the first book in this series. This release brought that character back. I hope we see more of the anti-team player in the future. He's far more interesting.
