Publisher's summary

Fans of James Patterson, Nelson DeMille, Stieg Larsson, and Gillian Flynn will love this exciting new thriller from bestselling author Jack Patterson!

When NFL star running back Aaron Banks winds up dead in an abandoned warehouse, San Francisco newspaper reporter Cal Murphy begins an investigation that unearths secrets that are best left alone. Joined by fellow journalist Kelly Mendoza, Cal ventures into a world rife with conspiracies, butting heads with powerful people and putting a bulls-eye on his own chest. But with time running out to expose the truth, Cal must weigh if the story is worth his life - and if he has what it takes to topple the most powerful man in Southern California.

Narrator just so so

How could the performance have been better?

The narrator could have put a little more feeling into his reading. The tone was kind of monotone.

Excellent

NFL Aaron Banks has died. Cal Murphy is a reporter and wants the story and questions answered. The secrets of why in a warehouse. As with the power that is in football he is butting heads with the powers behind it. Good series and good narration. Given audio for my voluntary review
