When a new security gig turns into a setup, expert thief Van Shaw finds himself the prey in a cross-country pursuit - in this electrifying sixth novel in Glen Erik Hamilton’s pulse-pounding and emotionally resonant thriller series.
Van Shaw is hired to evaluate the safeguards for the art collection of eccentric business magnate Sebastien Rohner. Then Rohner reveals to Van the real reason he’s been recruited: to prevent another professional burglar from stealing the art. Rohner wants to set a thief to catch a thief.
While questioning the bizarre nature of the job, Van accepts the lucrative offer and arrives at the island estate during an international summit that Rohner is hosting. Shortly after beginning his surveillance of Rohner’s highly secure gallery wing, Van stumbles across the murdered body of one of the honored guests along the rocky shore. Wary of Rohner’s true intentions, Van knows the homicide detectives on the case - and perhaps Rohner as well - think he’s the prime suspect and will turn his life upside down in their search for proof.
Van begins to hunt for the killer himself, but scrutiny only digs his hole deeper, as one of Rohner’s own executives is then killed and the Seattle police find concrete evidence placing Van at the scene. With no other options, he goes on the run, alone and unaided. He’s hunted by the cops, the enraged Rohner, and by a pair of psychopathic hitmen who chase Van from one coast to the next. To clear his name, Van Shaw will have to uncover the hidden motive of corporate espionage at a global level, even with a band of killers on his tail, determined to add Van to their growing list of victims.

This is the sceocd boo. in this series, narrated by Stephen Mendel. I simply have a hard time staying interested in listening to this book, because his narration is very flat. I like to listen to someone who is engaged in the story and keeps it alive. This narraror reads the story and does not breathe life into it. His narration of this book is considerably better than his performance in "A Dangerous Breed". He did fairly well in presenting different voices for the characters, but the general narration of the story was choppy.
I would assume that there is a director or producer that verifies the reading of the story. Aapparently whoever this is, does not listen to audible books very much as a means of entertainment.
I guess I am disgruntled when a book series comes out and the orignal narrator becomes the "voice" of the book and the characters after 3 or 4 books. Then a different narrator takes over that is not as good as the first one. I know this is not unusual with Audible books. I tend to follow the narrators that I like and even though I may be into a series from an author, if the narration is uninteresting, I will not buy the book.
Sorry, but Audible books is a major soruce of entertainment for me, and I appreciate good story lines and great narrators.
Great story, but.....
