Publisher's Summary

Detective Tom Moon and his multi-talented team face off against an international crime ring looking to seize control of America's most vibrant city, Miami.

The city of Miami is Detective Tom Moon's backyard. He's always kept it local, attending University of Miami on a football scholarship, and, as a Miami PD officer, protecting the city's most vulnerable.

Now, as the new leader of an FBI task force called "Operation Guardian", it's his mission to combat international crime. Moon's investigative team discovers that the opportunistic "Blood Brothers" - Russian nationals Roman and Emile Rostoff - have evaded authorities while building a vast, powerful, and deadly crime syndicate throughout Europe and metropolitan Miami.

Moon played offense for U of M, but he's on the other side of the field this time. And as the Rostoffs zero in on a target dear to Tom, they're not playing by anyone's rules.

Go ahead and skip this one

I love JP but this one was terrible. Didn’t warm up to the characters, the love interest seemed forced, the action was blah. Skip this one. So boring!

The worst James Patterson book ever.

Struggled to even finish this. so disappointed that I wasted a credit on this.

Not good

To be fair I did not get very far into the story. I could not get past the nonsense of an FBI agent illegally taking custody unaccompanied minors from Customs agents. Please do your homework James Patterson. You are better than this.

Amateur story

just bad writing and storyline. Juvenile at best. I felt like I was in the teen section of the library.

disappointing

Very predictable story, I really wanted it to be good. I have loved James Patterson in the past.

A little slower than typical James Patterson Book

It was just ok for me. I love James Patterson books because they are usually fast-paced. This one, in
my opinion, dragged a little bit.

Successful Characterization, Great Narration by Corey Carthew

Ralph Waldo Emerson comes to mind while following the mindset of Miami PD turned FBI agent TOM MOON. Emerson writes, "What lies behind us and what lies before us, are tiny matters, compared to what lies WITHIN US". Part of a specially created FBI TASK FORCE, Agent MOON drives this story forward using the characteristic CHARM readers have come to expect in an O. BORN/PATTERSON collaboration. Their new character Detective MOON is a former University of Miami football player, a family man ( takes great CARE of his ailing Mom and his younger sister - a Speech Pathologist with a wild side), and although he shows thoughtful vulnerability, he is the DRIVING FORCE in this HIGH Crimes have COME to MIAMI from Europe TALE. IT is Worth immersing yourself in this read and listen! Corey Carthew is a great Narrator who uses lots of emotion and brings home the message in a CLEAR speaking style, which is so important in a story with such an impacting cast of characters! I'd also recommend to listeners another Patterson/O. Born collaboration, HAUNTED featuring Detective Michael Bennett. Hope to see more stories featuring the sublime and supreme Detective MOON!

LOVED LOST

great story !! performance was done in a pleasant and easy to listen to voice.

Terrible

The narration was off, slow, lacked flow. The guy/hero 'Anti?' was not good at his job. Many dumb things and questions but, to let an exchange happen between Human Traffickers and Russian Mob on Miami beach was the dumbest. I stopped listening at that point.

Outstanding!

Twisting and turning another great book by James Patterson. A must for everyone. I loved it!
