About this listen

A DETOUR.
A DEAD MAN.
A SECRET WORTH KILLING FOR.


Vigilante assassin Silence Jones was supposed to be on a mundane mission—a simple cross-country transport. But a detour to a quiet Wisconsin town drags him into something far deadlier.

A man is dead. The cause? Officially an accident. Unofficially—a question no one wants answered. The deeper Silence digs, the clearer it becomes: this wasn’t just a death. It was a cleanup.

Now, Silence is the only one standing between a faceless enemy and countless lives on the line. But as the bodies stack up and the noose tightens, one thing is clear—whoever started this never expected anyone like Silence Jones to come looking.

And that mistake will be their last.

The next standalone action thriller in the pulse-pounding new series. Enter the world of Silence Jones. Hold on tight....

If you like action heroes with the steely resolve of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher, the calculating will of Gregg Hurwitz’s Orphan X, and the raw power of Mark Greaney’s Gray Man, then you’ll love Silence Jones.

Dying Breath is book 14 in the Silence Jones series, and somehow, Erik Carter keeps finding ways to surprise me. What starts off feeling like a low-stakes escort mission quickly spirals into a far more tangled, emotionally charged mess. One dead man, one blabbermouth passenger, and one absolutely relentless Silence trying to do the right thing even when the path forward is soaked in shadows. And tugging at every emotion he has left.

I appreciated how this story wasn’t just about bodies hitting the floor (though there’s plenty of that). There’s a tender undercurrent woven in through therapy and reflection. A trickle of Silence confronting the life he left behind, and how much of it he might never reclaim. That added depth hit me harder than expected, and I love how the series continues to evolve emotionally alongside the action.

Gary Bennett delivers another solid performance, especially with Silence’s dry, sardonic edge. And let’s be honest, Silence does a lot more talking in this one, so I hope Bennett has a stash of throat lozenges on standby. I feel like I owe him a box of Throat Coat! The banter, the tension, the intensity… It’s all executed flawlessly.

This was a different kind of Silence Jones book, and that’s what made it stand out. Still brutal, still sharp, but with more heart than I anticipated. Fourteen books deep and I’m still all in.
