About this listen

Seven strangers. Two hours. One tragic moment of violence that changes everything.

In this electrifying short story by New York Times bestselling suspense master Jeffery Deaver, the destinies of seven strangers intersect in ways no one sees coming. It looks like just another gray March morning in the tough urban district nicknamed Nowhere when seven lives converge: a young man intent on buying a gun; the gangbanger who cuts him a deal; a by-the-book police officer on a last patrol; an advertising executive keeping secrets from her husband; a veteran haunted by a combat death; a single dad in a bitter custody battle; and a sharp-looking businessman en route to a new job he desperately needs. Any one of them could have a dark motive. Any one of them could be walking into a trap. When the fog lifts, it will all be much clearer - that a single, shattering act of violence has marked each of them forever.

All in an early morning.

I loved how the story showed how the lives of 6 people became one story.

A Long Time Fan

This short story took me by surprise. From the beginning, I thought that I knew what the story is about. Boy did he throw me for a loop. I knew nothing and the more I listened the more I realized that this would be a totally unexpected and wild ride. There were some unexpected moments and events. All in all, it is a great story that left me wanting more

Good Short Story

The story definitely makes you question the assumptions you made in the first part about what happens in the second part!

Wow

This book had a lot of characters and a story that rings true today. If people did not think before they do things, this story would have been really different.
