If someone you loved was the victim of a violent crime, how far would you go to find justice?

A bit dated but so is the Maltese Falcon

Cell phones will be the bane of authors who have written before 2000. No one looks for a phone booth or scrounges for change to make a call any more. That being said, Jack Devlin is one butt kicking son of a gun in any time period. This book kept me riveted to the ear phones from start to finish. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher

Thrills, chills and excitement

What a unique story that grabs your attention from the start and doesn’t let go. The question is “If someone you loved was the victim of a violent crime, how far would you go to find justice?” We think we know the answer to that question but, do we? Would we have the resources to find out who was behind it and if we did what if they were more powerful than we were, what if they were out of our reach? So many questions with so few answers until the one you love is a victim we truly cannot answer this. Jack didn’t know the answer either until the day his brother came up missing, the day they found him was the day Jack went on the biggest man hunt of his life. Unlike us he does have the resources but even with them he still gets few answers until he ups the game kicking butt and taking names. This is an action packed thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seats as one man takes on a group of men taking them down one by one until he finds the guilty party. You can bet when that last name comes up he will do everything in his power to get justice for his brother. This is a story more or less of a one man army who is willing to give up his life to take out the man who hurt so many people not only just his brother. It is a thrilling listen that is action packed where the dark side meets the darker side, demanding justice with one hell of a punch that will make a grown man cry. Totally LOVE this audio.

Me. Ormond is a new narrator to me, but what a heck of a good one he is. He gives a thrilling exciting listen that takes you away making you hold your breath, hanging on, why he paints a picture of a thrilling, chilling plot the author wrote. He made me feel the passion, danger, excitement and even chills which ran down my back as the hunt was on and bad met good taking down one man at a time. The narrator made it very easy for the scenes to run wild in my mind as I watch the movie play through his voice. His character voices are wonderful both male and female really pull you in. He hits the correct tones with each character, you always knew what they were feeling and just who was talking. He made you feel the anger, passion, uneasiness, fear, and so much more. You could hear the chuckle, and even pain and sorrow as well as happiness and laughter right through his voice. There were no background noises, no repeating of words, no volume changes just a wonderful exciting clear, clean listen that took over your mind. He made me believe what was happening, I bought this story from start to finish. The characters became real to me as well as their pain. Before the story was over I was cheering Jack on. I was very impressed at how he portrayed the characters making them real people. I loved how he made Jack cold but exciting yet warm and loving which is not easy to do. His normal voice is very easy to listen to. I just could not put this down, I had to know what Jack would do next. I thought his performance was outstanding and can’t wait to listen to more of his work.

The author gives you an amazing story that really makes you think. It is a story that you won’t forget for a long time. Jack may be knocked down, but he won’t stay down. I really felt sorry for the man who came up against him, well just a little but not for long. The author made me buy into the story as I found myself cheering as one bad man went down and another one was on his way. I loved Jack’s sidekick that helped him get the justice his brother deserved. There are some wonderful supporting characters that came to mean a lot to me. There is no doubt that Jack wants revenge, but he also feels guilty for leaving his brother alone. He just lost his father and now it looks like he may lose his brother. It is a touching story with passion not only for his brother but for those that have been taken in and can’t get out. Jack is tough, but he has compassion, love and is truly a man who believes in honor and justice. The author throws in a touch of romance with a few twists. The characters are likable and believable, it would be hard to listen to this audio and not be taken in with the surprising spins and wonderful twists and turns. I set back with my heart in my throat a time or two. I also chuckled and laughed a few times as well as holding my breath, talking to the characters, and I am not ashamed to admit I did a little begging a time or two. I found myself saying oh this can’t be good, no I wouldn’t do that Jake, are you sure that is a good idea as well as do that again, hit him a little harder. Even had a few choice words for the bad guy. The ending was great a little surprising but wonderful what a great twist. Between the author and narrator I was totally hooked from the start loving every minute of a wonderful thrilling ride that I didn’t want to end. I see the author has book two out I do hope it will go into audio with this narrator. Bottom line it is a ride you don’t want to miss.

I absolutely loved this book!

This listen got so many things right that it's really hard to keep this review succinct. Everything about my experience in this world was excellent.
Storyline. Excellent.
Narration. Excellent.
Good guys. Excellent.
Bad guys. Excellent.
I could not wait to keep listening!!!

The main character, Jack Devlin, was easily one of my favorites. We're taking alpha male to the nth degree! He was equal parts swoon-worthy and ruthless. (Yes, please.)

In Jack's quest to avenge his brothers beating, the bad guys had to fall. I love how the story unfolded and the narrator absolutely nailed the intensity. Nailed. It.

I can't tell if there is another book in the series but my gosh, I sincerely hope so!

A 5* read/listen.

A 5* book, I loved this book it has everything in just the right amounts. Lots of action and plenty suspense even a little romance. All the characters are well formed with plenty of depth, especially the main protaagonists.
Narration is clear and concise with accents that are distinct for each character, The narrator moves the book along at a chapter turning pace and brings it to life.

This was a great book it showed the seedy and twisted side of the mob with police ties a s the unbelievable lengths one man will go to for his brother. Jack was such a bad ass I loved his character and I was happy to see Susan grow a spine! I received this book for free for an honest review.

Absolutely captivating and entertaining!!!!

This book was titilating! The story was like a new age sexy noir novel! In line with that and what really kept it together was the narration. The characters were easy to distinguish and led to great imagery of what they might look like. I was hooked from the beginning to end. Had to take it from my car into the house to keep listening. A great one to have in my library. Thank you!!!

This book has everything that you could want in a book, five star read

This is one of the best books that it has been my privilege to read in a long time. It is full of action and adventure, crooked cops and great car chases. To me it is like an updated Mike Hammer novel, I absolutely love it. I highly recommend this book and I will definitely be reading it again. I received this book at no cost to me by the author, publisher, or narrator. I'll opinions are my own.

Awesome Book, happy to revisit it.

I read this book for the first time in 1993. Then the two follow up Devlin adventures, as they were released. Packs as much a punch as I remember, and the narrator did an excellent job. I couldnt help but smile when we are introduced to Sam Zitter and James Pony; it was like seeing old friends. Devlin is a great protagonist. I had a blast listening. Highly recommended.
