About this listen

A Wall Street Journal best seller

The gripping third book in the best-selling Sydney Rose Parnell series.

Railway cop and former Marine Sydney Parnell is on the hunt. So is a killer she knows only as the Alpha. They’re in a race to find Malik, an 11-year-old Iraqi boy with secrets to guard. Sydney wants to help him. The Alpha wants him dead.

From the dark alleys of Mexico City to the mean streets of Denver, Sydney and her K9 partner, Clyde, use their wits and determination to chase down the ruthless killer. But when their path collides with his, Sydney realizes just how far-reaching and sinister the Alpha’s past is. And how far he’s willing to go to save his secrets.

This series is wonderful, this series also touched the part of my heart that will never forget my father’s Vietnam journey. Emily is a flawless performer and the writing is equally as brilliant. Thank you

This is a well written series. Complex characters, psychological depth, and informative, well paced, clever plots. The author is now on my "follow" list and I hope to read more in the future. I especially like the quotes from Parnell's diary that head the chapters. It helps me keep my place.

Excellent Series

Barbara weaves an intriguing story and it takes time to build. The narrator is good but sometimes a bit monotonous. I was able to figure out the ultimate bad person well before the identity was revealed (the name was the giveaway). The first book was still the best for me.

What I did not care for in this book was that the well-trained Marines were consistently out-maneuvered, even when they were prepared. I know that there has to be dramatic points but always having the highly skilled good guys constantly caught off-guard got a bit old.

There were some good surprises in this story and it did not finish in a completely predictable way. I am looking forward to the next book in the series which is set to be released in March of 2020.

Must be patient to listen toBarbara's books!

Loved this audio book. Looking forward to number 4, even though this book seems to close out the first trilogy. Looking forward to another one.

for the past several years Barbara Nickless has been my favorite author-- both in my Kindle e-reader app and now audible. the narrator does a great job with the characters, tempo, and timing in her reading of the text. this is a great addition to my library that I will re-read and re-listen to time and time again.

I did not see THAT coming. Every single book gets better. I love this series. Action packed from page one to the last page.

Wowza‼️

This is a very good, and exciting series. Mostly about good verses evil, and the tolls that the military takes, and keeps forever.

Great series

I really enjoyed all the books so far in the series. I believe I have one more to go. This author has created excellent suspenseful thrillers. She describes what needs to be detailed and does it in such a way that the story is excellent. The amount of research that she has had to put into these books is unbelievable. I look forward to the next one.

Another very good suspense

This is the third book in the Sydney Rose Parnell series and I think it might be my favorite. It could be read as a stand alone book however I would strongly suggest listening to the series in order.
This is a fast paced procedural that keeps your attention through out. The story takes Sydney to Mexico to protect a young boy she had rescued in Iraq. Back then he had seen something he shouldn't have. His mother had been murdered. Now, who ever wanted him dead then is closing in and Sydney wants to find him.
Meanwhile, back at home another ex-Marine has been murdered. Sydney's life is threatened at the airport. And more and more...
This book has a very well constructed plot. Lots of moving parts and unexpected characters. Sydney's dog Clyde as always remains a hero.
If you have kindle unlimited this book is FREE to borrow with the kindle edition.
Emily Sutton-Smith does an outstanding job narrating.
This book has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.
