Publisher's summary

A special forces agent-turned-strip club bouncer with a side hustle as a hitman for the New York mob seeks out a deadly drug lord in the poppy fields of Afghanistan.

Joe is a retired Special Forces operative with a bad case of PTSD and some substance abuse issues, trying to rebuild a simple life as a strip club bouncer living with his grandmother in Queens. But this simple life is constantly complicated by the fact that, at the invitation of his childhood friend, now a Mafia boss, Joe also moonlights as a fixer for the most powerful crime families in town.

In his newest assignment, Joe is sent to take out a shadowy figure named Zahir, who made the New York crime families' hit list by hijacking heroin shipments bound for US dealers and funneling the money to terror cells. Which means that Gotham's underbelly has brought Joe back to the one place in the world he doesn't want to revisit: the poppy fields of Afghanistan, a country that left permanent scars on his body as well as his psyche. If he were alone, his past demons might be too much to bear - but luckily, his occasional partner Yelena, a master thief whose skills have found her wanted from Brighton Beach to Moscow, is by his side.

For Fans of Joe Barrett

This is a current free plus catalog novel from a new author for me. Take advantage of the listen to see if you want to start the series at book 1. This book is fast paced with heaps of characters right out of a Scorsese film. This series has split narrators, and some reviewers Don’t like a change hence this one on plus catalog, then you can not have grumpy reviews.
I did listen to samples of the first narrator and they seemed ok, but l don’t own any of his work. I am a huge fan of Joe Barrett, do not miss Brian Haig’s Sean Drummond series and laugh your head off. I keep trying to find new authors to fill Mr Haig’s shoes as that series is my favorite with narrator Joe Barrett
