About this listen
A dead man’s riddles—and secrets—thrust an FBI codebreaker into a deadly cross-country race for justice in a propulsive thriller by the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Cipher.
During a recent undercover sting gone bad, hit man Gustavo Toro died in the arms of FBI Special Agent Daniela “Dani” Vega. But Toro had secrets he refused to take to the grave.
In the event of his death, Toro left behind a video that promises to expose a mysterious mastermind who has been operating with impunity for decades. But there’s a catch. Dani’s team must follow Toro’s cryptic clues on a cross-country hunt for justice, and piecing together his past is more twisted than Dani could have imagined.
But as Dani and her team race to gather the evidence, it’s clear this powerful adversary will stop at nothing to keep their secrets—including eliminating those who threaten to reveal them.

Crime analyst and newly disgraced deputy police chief Vera Boyett doesn’t visit home often, and she certainly doesn’t venture back into the cave on her family land. But when the remains of her long-missing stepmother are discovered, Vera will have to face a past that threatens all she is. She and her sister Eve had a fairy-tale childhood: good until it was tragic, with a stepmother they never found a bond with. At least they had each other, a baby half-sister, and a mutual devotion that would have them do the unthinkable.

Critic reviews
“Narrators Almarie Guerra and Feodor Chin find FBI agent and former military code breaker Dani Vega up to her neck in trouble as hit man Gustavo Toro dies in her arms in a botched sting operation.… Guerra portrays Dani as having a sharp mind and a hard-edged personality. Chin takes his turn, adding a sly tone and a ring of truth as the twisty plot unfolds. Bestselling author Maldonado, a former law enforcement officer, lends authenticity as she takes listeners on a cross-country chase with colorful, clever characters and a surprise at the end.”—AudioFile Magazine
“As in the previous books, Maldonado leverages her law enforcement background to lend the proceedings weight and authenticity, while flashbacks predating Toro’s death ratchet up the suspense. This series continues to impress.”—Publishers Weekly
“This riveting thriller keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Along with a solid and thrilling plot, relatable characters, and excellent world-building, the twists, surprises, action, and suspense demanded my attention.”—Mystery and Suspense Magazine

When two young girls disappear from their primary school, the village of Heighington is put on high alert—and not for the first time. Called in to investigate, Detective Karen Hart is sure that parallels with a previous disappearance are anything but coincidental. DS Hart is still reeling from a case she tried and failed to solve eighteen months ago, when a young woman vanished without a trace. She’s no nearer to the truth of what happened to Amy Fisher, but with two children missing now, too, the stakes have never been higher.

Daniela Vega is fantastic
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
A Killer’s Code brought several threads from the first two books in this series to satisfying conclusions and opened a few new questions that will leave me wondering if I can draw any accurate conclusions before the next book in the series shows up in my kindle.
If you enjoy police procedurals with well-developed characters who have their own human failings and issues, The Daniela Vega series is worth your time. If you’ve read the first two books in the series, what are you waiting for? Grab a copy and get some of your questions from the earlier books answered.
If you choose to listen to the audiobook version of A Killer’s Code, you are in for a treat. Narration duties are once again covered by Almarie Guerra and Feodor Chin. Both narrators are top-notch and bring Dani Vega and the other characters to life.
Dani Vega is back in an action-packed case.
