Story4.5 out of 5 stars 21,512
On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when - or if - it will go away.

Publisher's summary
A one-man crime wave is shaking the peaceful city of Santa Maria, California, and no place is safe. Kenny Trask, an unpredictable, high-strung, shockingly violent convict, has just escaped from prison and is intent on putting together enough cash to bankroll a new life for himself, his ex-cellmate, and the female defense attorney he believes they must “rescue”. Only one man is willing to stand in the way: Robby Medavoy, a cop who’s been called a hero, whose unorthodox style has fueled the resentment of rival officers and the suspicions of his superiors. With a contract on his life from his department’s SWAT team, Medavoy must put everything on the line to pull Trask in - his reputation, his survival, and, unexpectedly, the woman he comes to love.

Somewhere in the once-placid streets of San Francisco, a young man is on the run, charged by the media with a crime he didn't commit, hounded by demagogues, hunted by a desperate police department. One cop knows that Kevin Shea is innocent of a brutal racial murder. An ambitious politician will use Shea for her own ends. And a down-and-out lawyer is all that stands between Kevin Shea and an even more atrocious crime. For when there's no law left, justice is the only hope.

If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

Finally a fictional novel that feels very real!
So glad to have had this incredible writer AND Amazing narrator recommended to me by Audible. I accidentally listened to the first book believing it was a true crime story/memoir as I normally read....and never realized until last hour it wasn't! So well written and narrated that I can't stop with the other books!!!

Very long
Much longer than it needed to be and often confusing. A lot of characters to keep straight. No real stand out characters or really likable ones. The idea of the convict and his lawyer seemed a tad far fetched and not really believable. Average story with a lot of moving parts.

Not realistic
So the Author must have just dealt with traffic cases because most of the rest of the story isn’t very realistic police procedures or how suspects really act or react. Could have been a good story.

Ridiculous Premise to the story
The book started out with such a ridiculous opening and character development I couldn’t stand to listen. Very disappointed in the author - make it somewhat believable or get out of the genre
