Sunday Night Fears

A Sam Halloran Thriller

De: Tom Golden

Narrado por: Gary Bennett

A fraud uncovered. A past that won’t stay buried. A man with everything to lose.

Ambitious, desperate, and haunted by mistakes he can’t erase, Sam Halloran is a young auditor trying to prove himself—and hold his family together. When he lands his first public company assignment, he’s determined to make it count.

But deep in the company’s ledgers, Sam discovers what no one else has seen: fraud—massive, deliberate, and hidden from previous audits.

Suddenly, the walls begin to close in. The company’s seductive accounting manager blurs the line between ally and enemy. Every new clue paints a bigger target on Sam’s back. And the closer he gets to the truth, the more his past threatens to destroy what little he has left.

Like John Grisham’s The Firm, Sunday Night Fears throws an ordinary man into extraordinary peril—a modern-day David facing a corporate Goliath that could crush him in an instant.

The Sam Halloran Thriller Series

Forensic accounting investigator Sam Halloran has spent his life chasing other people’s secrets—while running from his own. Brilliant, stubborn, and scarred by the past, Sam knows exactly how he became the man he is—and more than anything, he wants to change.

Not for redemption. Not for glory. But to prove one person wrong: the father who told him he’d never amount to anything.

Spanning ambition, betrayal, and the long road toward forgiveness, The Sam Halloran Trilogy follows one man’s pursuit of truth through three explosive thrillers—Sunday Night Fears, One Honest Soul, and Echoes of Deceit.

Each case cuts deeper, each choice carries a heavier price, until Sam must face the question that has haunted him from the beginning: Can he finally silence the past—or will it destroy everything he loves?

Interesting,out of my normal genre

I listen to mysteries all the time but have never had a “ numbers guy” at the center of the story. Enough characters,good plot,dialog was good and had an element of surprise at the end. Really enjoyed this new series and look forward to Sams next audit,wonder where he will take us next.

Outstanding book by an outstanding author. The truth behind this author’s insights and impact is amazing.

The story is gripping and drew me in. A surprise to me was hearing through the journey of this book truths in what creates a successful forensics investigator and professional services leader in a major firm. I got so much more than my already high expectations for the book. I leave this story hungry for the author’s next books. Awesome!

Decisions

Sam ambitious, an accountant, has a chance to advance with a good company, which his wife is also supportive. Decision was not easy, when he uncovers fraud with a big client’s account, to remain quiet, or tell. The auditors want to keep quiet, what about the company. The life he and his family have known is now with fear, murder and suspense. Given ARC audio of which added to this story for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Great Listen!

Sunday Night Fears is an addictive book to listen. Finished it in less than two days.

Enjoyable and gripping forensic accounting thriller

I enjoyed Tom Golden's first novel immensely. There are millions of police procedural and legal thrillers out there, but very seldom books about forensic accountants. I particularly liked reading the specific forensic accounting and auditing methods used, which made it seem more realistic. If you're just looking for a mystery but are not into procedures, then skip this book. But if you're like me and relish the details, you won't be disappointed. Can't wait for the next installment!

Suspenseful thriller!!

Golden creates a tense and sensitive story of his alter ego Sam Holleran. The character development is excellent. You really care what might happen. Don’t let the accounting background fool you, the story really is challenging. A great book!

This book needed a good editor with a red pencil!

As an accountant married to a former Big 8 IT auditor, I was excited when I purchased the book because 1) it was about Forensic Accounting and 2) because it was the first book of a new series. It did not take long to be disappointed! The forensic accounting which I would have found exciting was maybe 1/10th of the story if that the rest was whining. I will not be purchasing the second in his series.

AAARGH! Terrible book.

Trust me, this is a waste of time. Oh the premise of a new field, forensic accounting, getting our mystery story attention was enticing. In fact it was the reason I bought this thing. But after hours of the whining Job-like (That's JOB as in the biblical character) lead character's sheep-like behavior and Sisyphus stones that Tom Golden made him carry over hills that had nothing to do with a mystery story... Well I just stopped listening - hours into this mess. Perhaps a crime may occur if Golden's given enough time to reveal it. Perhaps the forensic accountant may bring new tools to crime fighting that will reveal that crime and crush its bad-folk. Dunno, and will never know. Wish I could rewind this book along with the hours I wasted waiting for the story to start. Never again will I buy a Golden book. AAARGH!

WHERE WERE THE EDITORS?
