Story5 out of 5 stars 24
Midnight on a moonlit beach. Six cops execute four thugs after a heinous crime. They are unaware that there is a witness to the executions. Thrilling action explores tactical, ethical, and criminal choices made by officers of the law. A stark image of moral ambiguity underpins their struggle to maintain courageous and precarious control of all-engulfing crime. Plain-dealing cops face scrutiny in an emotional journey through choices made in the day-to-day confrontation with evil.

What made the experience of listening to Plain Dealing the most enjoyable?
The narrator has got these characters right between the eyes. Very enjoyable accents and idiosyncrasies, and lovely tension.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Mashego is a really intriguing character in this audio rendition of the book. Accent is slightly inferred and very authoritatively performed. I also like the forensics women. So sharp. They cut any macho men down to size, and rightly so.
Which character – as performed by Ian Patrick – was your favorite?
Mashego, for the above reasons.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes and no. I like to hear it in big hefty pieces. The chapter sizes are perfect for this.
Any additional comments?
This is so realistic. It's like journalism rather than fiction. Totally believable all the way.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 28
A top police investigative unit breaks an illegal gambling operation in the context of rampant police corruption and drug-fueled gangster violence in the city. Lead detective Jeremy Ryder is a physically powerful, quiet and meticulous investigator. His partner Navi Pillay is a small and exceptionally strong Tamil martial arts instructor, and she provides the speed and physical power to complement Ryder's incisive sleuthing abilities.
