Publisher's summary
To reconstruct the story, the writer must now become the protagonist, searching the corridors of his life and the city he loves. Soon Drew closes in on clues he may or may not have left for himself. And as another young woman is similarly murdered, he has to ask difficult questions - not of others but of himself.
Critic reviews
"Hurwitz's insights about L.A. life sound knowing and are often ruefully funny, e.g., 'L.A., where a porn star runs for governor and an action figure wins.' Crime fans looking for something different will love this one." ( Booklist)

It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

Terrorism, duty, and personal safety collide when Jake Pendleton, an investigator for the NTSB, is called to investigate an aircraft accident in Savannah, Georgia during the St. Patrick's Day celebration. The accident, which at first appears to be quite run-of-the-mill, turns out to be anything but. Since Jake is not willing to pretend there are no suspicious circumstances and more than the usual share of rather unlikely "coincidences," he sets off a veritable avalanche of secrets, violence and treachery.

Story
President Wood has a mission for Christian Gillette. There are secret negotiations going on with senior capitalists in post-Communist Cuba concerning the US, and the President wants Gillette to handle it. It is clear, however, that the trail cannot lead back to the Oval Office. Seeing no option but to accept the mission, Gillette heads to Florida with bodyguard Quentin Stiles, leaving his capable protegé Allison Wallace in charge. They are soon 1,000 miles apart and both in grave danger.

Story
Meet Michael Blutrich, mild-mannered New York lawyer and founder of Scores, the hottest strip club in New York City history, funded by the proceeds of an insurance embezzlement scheme. All Blutrich wanted was to lay low, make the club a success, and put his criminal acts behind him. But the Mafia got involved, and soon the FBI came knocking. Scores became wildly popular, in part thanks to Blutrich's ability to successfully bend the rules of adult entertainment. Unfortunately for Blutrich, it would all soon implode.

Story
EMASI! Each Man a Separate Individual! That is the rallying cry of the Seps, the resistance force engaged in a class war against the upper tiers of a society driven entirely by opinion polls. Those who score high, the High-Opps, are given plush apartments, comfortable jobs, every possible convenience. But those who happen to be low-opped live crowded in warrens, facing harsh lives and brutal conditions.

Story
It all started with a simple, yet sneakily difficult challenge from global best-selling author Harlan Coben: Pick a bird of prey, then use it as the inspiration for a brand-new story. The response from some of the best writers on the planet: Game on! The result: Eleven stories that are twisty, scary, surprising and bursting with imagination. An egg worth more than its weight in gold. A mysterious operative known only as Owl. An eagle-watcher who sees more than she should. Even a story that somehow places the Maltese Falcon in a nursing home.

Story
Nate Overbay, a former soldier suffering from PTSD and ALS, goes to an 11th-floor bank and climbs out the bathroom window onto the ledge, ready to end it all. But as he’s steeling himself to jump, a crew of gunmen bursts into the bank and begins viciously shooting employees and customers. With nothing to lose, Nate climbs back inside, confronts the robbers, and with his military training, starts taking them out, one by one. The last man standing leaves Nate with a cryptic warning: “He will make you pay in ways you can’t imagine.” Soon enough, Nate learns what this means.

Excellent
Mr Hurwitz has now joined Michael Conelly, James Lee Burke, and Vince Flynn as one of my favorite writers. Even though I had a good idea of who the killer was about midway through the book Hurwitz threw so many curve balls at me that I still very surprised and pleased with the ending. This book is definitely worth buying.

Scott Brick is Awful!
I know many listeners just love him, but to me he sounds like Captain Kirk as played by William Shatner. Ugh! Everything is said as if the character is either in fear for his life - begging someone not to kill him. Overwrought melodrama and thusly I am returning this book after 46 minutes of his emoting. Gave 3 for the rest of the novel since I have no idea how it is.

A great story and reader performance full of interest and surprises
I enjoyed listening to this audible book. I was surprised how my mind easily provided a movie of this story based on my and the writer's imaginations and the reader's voice.

Better than I thought based on reviews!
This book had some bad reviews, even so far as to say Scott Brick wasn't the right narrator! WHAT??? Let's start with Scott Brick could make reading the phone book sound gripping! He's awesome, always! Now to the book, it wasn't bad, I enjoyed it! Not Hurwitz best but still good! Scott Brick is great with character voices, the plot was thought out well and I was entertained! I recommend the book!

I originally picked this book because of the narrator whom I love to listen to . . . he did not disappoint ! however , I would suggest The Abridged version... some areas are just too wordy !

Scott Brick does a terrific read of Gregg Hurwitz
wonderfully entertaining book. I always enjoy this pairing. Gregg Hurwitz has offered, this time, a clever and funny writing. ...even more so than usual. A keeper. I will also listen again with others. maybe even one more time by myself.
