The Hike

De: Landon Beach

Narrado por: Scott Brick

A stand-alone crime thriller in the Great Lakes Saga

"Buckle up. It's Breaking Bad meets The Godfather...and the battle for Detroit is about to begin. Intense!" (Ryan Steck, The Real Book Spy)

Brad Cranston is having a normal Friday afternoon in Shelter Harbor, Michigan when he receives a desperate call from his brother, who disappeared six years ago. Conrad’s message is clear: head south, bring a boat, do not involve the police, and there is a load of money involved - click.

After enlisting the service of rookie Private Investigator Allison Shannon - a retired master diver who is haunted by her own demons - the two start to realize that Conrad Cranston has become much more than a lost hiker.

Meanwhile, FBI Special Agent Patrick Bruno has just been relocated to the Motor City to help bring down the Detroit Mafia, better known as “The Association.” What Patrick does not know, however, is that Detroit’s young new Godfather, Don Ciro Russo, has been targeted for assassination - an event that would turn the criminal organization upside down. And, a long-time confidential informant may be orchestrating the transfer of power.

As Patrick attempts to learn the truth, his path crosses with an unlikely pair: Brad Cranston and Allison Shannon. The search narrows, and the answers may lie on a small island in Lake Erie nicknamed “the Key West of the north.” However, unimaginable terror could await them on the island and in the depths offshore.

For they are about to learn that justice and discovery still come at a price.

If you are a fan of Don Winslow, Lee Child, Breaking Bad, or The Godfather, you've come to the right place.

"Buckle up. It's Breaking Bad meets The Godfather...and the battle for Detroit is about to begin. Intense!" (Ryan Steck, The Real Book Spy)

This series just gets better with every title.

Great story and performance. Loved this story, definitely a few twists and turns. Mr. Beach just gets better and better, I wish this series could go on and on.

Really enjoyed

I am new to Landon Beach and I have enjoyed each story. Love Scott Bricks narrations of each. On to the next in the Saga

Love the history included in this novel

Really enjoying the audible story.
The narrator is excellent and the move compelling.
In the Great Lake series provides history of them!
Good reads/listening.

Too much! And sadly too little.

Too much everything. Too many characters needlessly introduced, descriptive passages of little relevance to the story. Main characters were intriguing and well developed but I was left wishing the author paid more attention to their plot lines. The story quickly became a mafia saga with so many names and detailed roosters of crime families that meant nothing to the story that I was tempted to skip to the end. The ending was pretty awful with the characters making such silly / stupid decisions it was actually annoying and wholly unbelievable. This is not my first book by Beach and I have mostly enjoyed his others but I'll hesitate to purchase another. As usual, Scott Brick was a pleasure to listen to and saved the booked.

AMAZING!

WOW, NOT MUCH MORE TO SAY THAN OTHERS, EXCEPT THAT MR. BEACH HAS REALLY UPPED HIS GAME WITH THIS LATEST BOOK!!!! I ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY READ ESPIONAGE AND ACTION THRILLERS, MY AUDIBLE LIBRARY CONTAINING CLOSE TO A THOUSAND TITLES. I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT THIS BOOK RANKS HIGH UP, JUST UNDER AUTHORS LIKE VINCE FLYNN, TOM WOOD AND MARK GREANEY! THE ONLY "COMPLAINT " I CAN THINK OF IS THE NAMES OF ALL THE MAFIA CREW GOT A LITTLE CONFUSING FOR ME, KEEPING THEM ALL STRAIGHT IN MY MIND. IT'S NOT A HUGE DEAL TO ME AND I DEF WON'T TAKE A STAR OFF. I GIVE THIS BOOK A VERY SOLID 5 STARS AND MIGHT GIVE MORE IF I COULD!
