The Strait

De: Dom Stasi

Narrado por: Bill Nevitt

Pilot Jake Silver is haunted by a cruel irony — he secretly suspects that he’s the reason Swede Bergstrom, the hero who saved his life, has fallen on hard times. Upon learning that Swede has been killed during the commission of a crime, the guilt-driven Jake too-willingly agrees to follow Swede’s mysterious and beautiful sister, Christina, on a search to clear her brother’s name. Their odyssey takes them from the canyons of Manhattan to the heart of darkness itself, enlisting the help of colorful characters and dodging death every step of the way.

But is the alluring Christina the loving sister she appears to be, or evil incarnate? The body of a woman discovered in Jake’s East Side apartment and her killer’s ritualistically brutal M.O. lead NYPD homicide cop Pat Garodnik to suspect the latter.

Combining his efforts with those of Jake’s mother — a former DA with enemies on both sides of the law — the pair embark on an odyssey of their own, going to any lengths necessary, legal or otherwise, to find the truth and save Jake before his time runs out.

Literary and atmospheric, Dom Stasi’s debut thriller will have you listening late into the night with its high-flying action and intriguing mystery. As answers continue to be uncovered, the final pieces of the puzzle are as shocking as they are satisfying.

Fast paced story

Pretty good story. Very fast paced with lots of action. Some of the story is a little unbelievable but it doesn’t take away from the overall experience. Narrator was very good.

Tightly woven & well-written suspense

The Strait (Audible Audio), my first read/listen from author Dom Stasi . Started slowly and built speed the further I got into the book. An excellently written crime thriller! I've already been to Amazon looking at his titles. Bill Nevitt’s narration is, as always, excellent & adds greatly to the book’s enjoyment. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Grabs you from the beginning.

If you enjoy a book that is action packed, then this book is definitely for you.
There were some gruesome kill scenes and torture in the book too.
For those who don’t like blasphemy, there was a bit.

Thank you to the author for a great book. Thank you to the narrator too.

Shows what a mother's faith will do!

An airman, caught up in something that was deadly, dangerous and soul destroying, simply because he felt obligated to a former comrade-in-arms.
His mother, a former attorney of some influence, is also caught up in the drama, trying to find her son, and clear his name.
Off course, the bad guys will stop at nothing to get what they want. So, the body count climbs, as our hero tries to assist his former comrades sister.
I always feel the audiobooks add more to my reading experience. I admired the narrator's ability to use female and male voices in various nationalities, adding greater depth to the tale.

One of my favs this year!

I listen to LOTS of audiobooks. This is one of my favs so far this year.

Strong characters.
Fast paced plot.
Action. Lots of action.
Family ties.
International criminals.

This will make a great movie one day.

I especially liked the part when the perspective changed from our protagonist to well... I won’t say who and spoil it. Didn’t see that coming, but there was foreshadowing of it.

This one is going in the relisten list!!

I received this audiobook for free in exchange for a review.
