Tropical Depression

A Billy Knight Thriller

By: Jeff Lindsay

Narrated by: Jay Snyder

Jeff Lindsay mastered suspense with his wildly addictive Dexter series. Before that, however, there was former cop and current burnout Billy Knight. When a hostage situation turns deadly, Billy loses everything - his wife, his daughter, and his career. Devastated, he heads to Key West to put down his gun and pick up a rod and reel as a fishing boat captain. But former co-worker Roscoe McAuley isn't ready to let Billy rest. When Roscoe tells Billy that someone murdered his son, Billy sends him away. When Roscoe himself turns up dead a few weeks later, however, Billy can't keep from getting sucked back into Los Angeles, and the streets that took so much from him. Billy's investigations into the death of a former cop, and his son, will take him up to the highest echelons of the LAPD, finding corruption at every level. It puts him on a collision course with the law, with his past, with his former fellow officers, and with the dark aftermath of the Civil Rights Movement. Jeff Lindsay's considerable storytelling gifts are on full display, drawing the listener in with a mesmerizing style and a case with more dangerous blind curves than Mulholland Drive.

Critic reviews

"A rock-solid series debut." ( Booklist)

Good story

Like plot did not like ending. Overall good listen yada yada yada yada yada yada

Gritty, witty and an entertaining read

I really felt as though I was watching a hard boiled old detective TV show from the early 80s. The performance was amazing voices clear, strong and just great voice acting overall. This could be made for tv, easy

A solid 3+

I had high hopes for this book since the author also wrote the “Dexter” series. The writing is taught, the humor is light but the plot is formulaic. The narration is fairly good. It is a medium paced light listen. I was entertained somewhat but disappointed overall.

Definitely Not Dexter

I love crime stories on boats. The narrator is the best on Audible. I’ll be downloading the rest of the authors’ books.

Jeff Lindsay doesn’t disappoint

I was introduced to Jeff Lindsay from his Dexter series which were cleverly written. It is only lately I have discovered his other books and look forward to more! Jay Snyder was perfect.
