About this listen

At the start of the Iraq War, a priceless antiquity is stolen from the Iraq Museum. The three-thousand-year-old Death in the Reeds once decorated an ancient throne. There are only two in the world, and billionaire collectors will pay hundreds of millions of dollars to secure it. The thief escapes Iraq with his prize, but is murdered before he can sell it. And now the missing antiquity becomes the object of a frantic chase.

In San Francisco, sexy TV star Cass Popadop—close friend to Mickey Judge, recently hired by one of the local stations after being fired from New York—finds out about the stolen art and tries to score a multi-million dollar commission. She tempts the brother of the dead thief to fly to the Mideast, track it down and bring it back to San Francisco.

All the while, hired killer Pete Grand is stalking the object himself, dispatching anyone who gets in his way with a quick toss from a fatal height.

And in the midst of all this grasping greed—all the crooked politicians, the media moguls and rich eccentrics—Mickey Judge finds himself becoming the ultimate bait in a chase for the billion dollar prize.

Could stand some editing. I liked the focus on the object, much more than the Mickey Judge parts.

high-stakes chases, and morally gray characters

This audiobook is a thrilling dive into a world of stolen artifacts, high-stakes chases, and morally gray characters. The plot keeps you hooked with its twists and turns, moving quickly across international settings. The narrator does a great job bringing the characters to life, though at times their pacing can feel a bit rushed during action-packed moments. While the story is gripping, it occasionally leans on familiar tropes, and some characters could have been developed further. Still, it’s an entertaining listen, especially for fans of fast-paced mysteries with a touch of real-world intrigue.
