About this listen

When the crimes of a serial arsonist lead to murder, Sharpe and Walker need detective Eve Ronin to join the hunt in a blistering thriller by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg.

After dozens of Hollywood apartment buildings erupt in flames during a single night of terror, arson investigators Walter Sharpe and Andrew Walker are assigned to catch the serial torcher and end his spree. But then a catastrophic fire destroys a major freeway, crippling the city and forcing Sharpe and Walker to take on another massive case.

Desperate for help, they know exactly who to call: homicide detectives Eve Ronin and Duncan Pavone. Together the four detectives must quickly figure out whether the freeway disaster was a tragic accident…or the work of a mastermind with a horrific plan.

As the investigations collide, an old foe with a revenge scheme enters the fray, igniting a race against time to stop a conspiracy of deception, corruption, and murder.

Such a brilliantly written too short of a story

I love Lee Goldberg books. He has a unique talent of making his thriller books witty and funny. A story of 2 arsons brilliantly written into one story. Very curious for what is next for ex-con Danny. Sharp and Duncan are funny supporting characters. If you have not read book one it is a must. The narrator Eric conger addd to the enjoyment of ‘reading’ this book.

Twisted!

How twisted can it get! I loved every curve and corner! While working to figure out all the angles I got an exciting story! I really enjoyed the revival of characters from book 1 as it added another level to the story. I loved reconnecting with all the characters! That Sharp! Soo smart! His attitude? I enjoy his grumpiness and his straight forwardness. Walker stepped up a bit in this one taking more of a leader role. Narration is well done.

Great crossover police story

This was excellent! The culprit from the last story finally was prosecuted. The cooperation between the fire investigators and the detectives was wonderful. They worked well together. Brilliant narration by Eric Conger and Nicol Zanzarella. They portrayed all the characters perfectly and brought this book to life.

Another Thrill Ride with Sharpe & Walker

I have loved the Sharpe and Walker series from the first book Malibu Burning. I hadn't had so much fun listening to a book in a long time. Ashes Never Lie was also fantastic and now we have the third book in the series. I just enjoy this series so much. Sharpe and Walker are both fascinating and funny and make a great team. Toss in Eve Ronin and Duncan Pavan adds to the fun. This book brings back the wonderful con man Danny Cole and what is left of his team. Danny needs a series of his own, he and Tomiko and awesome. Danny deals some poetic justice to rich jerk, and the daring detectives track arson fires that go beyond the norm. I just enjoy listening to witty banter, cool heists and political infighting. The author can't write these fast enough. Because of Sharpe and Walker, I got hooked on the Eve Ronin series as well. Sharpe and Walker would make a fantastic streaming series. I can't wait for the next one. The new Eve Ronin book arrives in October. Fantastic narration by Eric Conger and Nicole Zanzarella.

A Good Story

This was a good story with the same good characters and some laugh-out-loud moments. Maybe not quite as good as some of the others, but still enjoyable. I'm not crazy about the narrator for the audible version. He's not the most fluent and he mispronounces a few words. Still worth listening to though.
