Head Wounds

De: Michael McGarrity

Narrado por: George Newbern

Given a chance to salvage his law enforcement career, Dona Ana County Sheriff’s Detective Clayton Istee catches a bizarre late-night double homicide at a Las Cruces hotel. Both victims, a man and a woman, have been scalped with their throats cut.

The murders show all the signs of a signature hit, but national and state crime databases reveal no similar profiles. Digging into the victims’ backgrounds, Clayton discovers that six months prior the couple had walked out of a nearby casino with $200,000 of a high-stakes gambler’s money.

He also learns the crime had been hushed up by an undercover federal DEA agent, who resurfaces and recruits Clayton for a dangerous mission to seize the Mexican drug lord responsible for the killings.

Thrust into the nightmare world of borderland drug wars and corrupt cops, Clayton duels with a cunning assassin poised to kill him and his family in a ferocious climax to the Kevin Kerney series that is sure to stun.

Enjoyed the audiobook

I’ve listened to and enjoyed all the Kevin kerney
books and world recommend them. I miss the previous narrator. The narrator of this book is ok and has a lot of narration to his credit but didn’t click for me.

An exceptional read

As a loyal reader of Michael McGarrity's novels, I consider this to be one of his best. Incorporating history and background of Native American subjects makes this truly interesting and entertaining. I would have rated this novel 5 stars plus, but the author felt compelled to enlighten the reader with a few "woke" comments to be fashionable.

This is a good story, poorly told

This is a great series and all of the other books have been well produced with good narration. This book has a great overall story line, but it sounded like it was written by a committee and read like it was a phone menu. I can only say I think that McGarrity was let down by his publishers. This is said to be the climax of the Kevin Kearney series, if so, I only can guess that the author was not able to quality control the production of this novel You will see nothing new about the Kearney family or the isti family in this book and it just doesn't sound like it was finished... Feedback for Mr. Newborn; listen to George Guidall and study his methods. You have the voice for it, but you are so flat it hurts the storyline.

Not as good as the rest of the series

It just seemed very different. The different narrators, they were fine narrators, but I wished it would have stayed original. Sorry.

Bad performance, hard to follow this story..

Not really a Kevin Kearny book...all the characters get muddled, terrible reader. Can’t recommend this book.
