About this listen
There was no doubt the man was dead. A bullet through the head will do that. But, who was dead? The man had no identification, no known address, no Social Security information could be found, and the fingerprint search came up empty.
Detective Nate Burns, Albuquerque Police Department, knew two things. The man was dead and he was blood type O+. The most common type of blood in the country.
Dead Men Walking, is a fast paced police drama that tells the story of Detective Nate Burns, a man haunted by his past. That haunting has suddenly appeared in the present.
His Captain wants him fired.
A friend is calling in a favor.
A convict wants to make a bargain
His wife is thinking of divorce.
It's a good thing he's serving a suspension. He'll find time to work all this out.
Dead Men Walking, is the follow-up to the award-winning, first Nate and Clare novel, The Tenth Nail. The story continues with Nate being assigned to a most difficult case. At the same time, he is trying to salvage his marriage, and since his wife, Clare, has returned to college, he must make sure he is not late picking up his daughter from her summer reading class.

Story
Nate knelt beside the dead girl. This wasn't his first homicide, it wasn't even the first dead prostitute he'd investigated. It wasn't the first strangling death he'd been assigned to. But this one bothered him. Maybe it was her youth; she appeared to be in her early twenties. Maybe it was her looks, as death had yet to rob her of her beauty. Maybe she reminded him of his own daughter, Lizzie, who was only a few years younger. Maybe it was something else entirely.

Story
Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden—especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or look the other way—is far from popular. When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in.

Cody Hoyt, while a brilliant cop, is an alcoholic struggling with two months of sobriety when his mentor and AA sponsor Hank Winters is found burned to death in a remote mountain cabin. At first it looks like the suicide of a man who's fallen off the wagon, but Cody knows Hank better than that. Sober for fourteen years, Hank took pride in his hard-won sobriety and never hesitated to drop whatever he was doing to talk Cody off a ledge. When Cody takes a closer look at the scene of his friend's death, it becomes apparent that foul play is at hand.

Never a doubt. Never a mistake. Always for justice. Never for revenge. She's the person you hire when you need something fixed-permanently. With a strict set of criteria, she evaluates every request and chooses only a few. No more than one job per country, per year. She will only step in if it's clear that justice will not be served any other way. Her jobs are completed with skill and precision, and never result in inquiry or police investigation. The Fixer is invisible - and quite deadly.

Gripping Story, Awesome Narration!
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Paul J McSorley seems to have toned down the drama in his performance just a little and has given the characters distinctive and appropriate voices, although performing Nate's daughters is a real stretch for him.
Speaking of Nate's daughters, they needed to be more fully developed as characters. It's good that they played a part in the story, but we didn't really get to know them.
Interestingly, the mystery doesn't seem formulaic. Unfortunately, some important details of the story are glossed over or omitted altogether. Still, it's engaging with a satisfying ending.

This book is like visiting with old friends . I enjoyed hearing more of Nate and Clare’s story. I loved this couple from the beginning; and now I love them even more. Clare learns Nate secret as Nate works on another mystery with his old friends, as well as a few new characters.
Still grieving the loss of his old partner, he finally starts therapy and begins to open up and his journey of self discovery reveals so many more surprising secrets. I recommend you read this book so you’ll be as shocked as I was.
