Publisher's summary

Audie Award Finalist, Thriller/Suspense, 2014

For 25 years, Robert Crais has written extraordinary novels of crime and suspense. He is "a master of crime fiction" (Associated Press); "his novels get better with every new book" (Portland Oregonian); "Crais is hands-down the world’s greatest crime writer" (The Huffington Post).

But in Suspect, he may have written his most remarkable novel of all.

LAPD cop Scott James is not doing so well, not since a shocking nighttime assault by unidentified men killed his partner, Stephanie, nearly killed him, and left him enraged, ashamed, and ready to explode. He is unfit for duty - until he meets his new partner.

Maggie is not doing so well, either. The German shepherd survived three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan sniffing explosives before she lost her handler to an IED and sniper attack, and her PTSD is as bad as Scott’s.

They are each other’s last chance. He was a young cop on the rise; she was bred to guard and protect. Now they are shunned and shunted to the side. They are suspect. And together they will set out to investigate the one case that no one wants them to touch: the identity of the men who murdered Stephanie.

Nine months and sixteen days later, they remained free. They were still out there.

What they begin to find is nothing like what Scott has been told, and where it will lead them will take them both through the darkest moments of their own personal hells. Whether they will make it out again, no one can say.

Thrilling, emotional, intense, with some of the best characters and well-crafted writing in all of crime fiction, Suspect is further proof that "Crais just keeps getting better" (Publishers Weekly).

For people and dog lovers,

This is an amazing story of love, trust and devotion, one of my favorite goods yet.

Loved it!

I really enjoyed this book and found myself disappointed when I reached the end. The story was good and easy to listen to, with just enough details to keep it interesting.! Very entertaining!

Suspect

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Any dog lover would. It's about a wounded dog who loses his person and a wounded cop who loses his partner and how they become pack together and help each other heal while solving a mystery. I recommended this book to a friend who has a German shepherd and she thanked me and said she couldn't put it down.

Excellent

I am a dog lover, so this story was right up my alley. This was a good story, very very good narrator and kept my attention till the very end.

animals lovers be prepared

loved the narrator and his ability to change tones easily. story of loyalty courage and strength. Any dog lover will not be able to stop this story.

Excellent

Putting the listener into the perspective of Maggie the K9 was so well done. The narration overall was very well done. I would listen to this book again and enjoy it all over.

Outstanding!

one of my fav book. i was very pleasantly surprise. narration was excellent. sad its over.

Ok

Overall it's not bad. Personally I didn't find the investigation/mystery of the shooters very interesting. Veteran detectives couldn't find the little clues to piece together the mystery but this beat cop was able to find out everything fairly easily. The dog point of view was a little over the top and repetitive but was a cool touch. It's worth listening to but not sure I would spend my credits on it

Sit, down, stay!

A fine read! Learned a lot about police dogs’ training. Main character well described. Believable and had real charm. Other characters described pretty well. Great plot. Interesting following the progression of the mystery, but mostly it was the story of man and dog that I found the best reason for recommending this book to dog lovers first and mystery fans second.

Good story

Good read and had some good twist to the story. Like the narrator. thanks
