About this listen
Tick Tock, Tick Tock
He watched them, the anger building. This could not go on. He could not let it continue. He squeezed the handle of the knife, its blade honed razor sharp. The Quiet Man had been quiet too long.
Lead agent Don Trask of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has received a cryptic poem. His assistant thinks it may be related to a murder near the town of Little Falls in central Minnesota. Trask isn’t so sure. When a second poem arrives after another brutal murder, there is no longer a question and Trask heads to Little Falls to stop a killer before another poem can be written.
The Trask Brothers return in the eleventh installment of the highly rated murder mystery series.
Readers of Sanford, Connelly, Patterson, Child and alike will enjoy this gripping and fast-paced murder mystery detective thriller.
Praise from Trask Brothers readers:
"Fast and exciting. If you are a Sanford fan you will become a Nelson follower." - Mrs. M
"My first Nelson read. I'll be back for more." - Kindle Customer
"I was hooked after the first chapter." - Kindle Reader

Story
Missing girls, no one missed. A small town with big secrets. The snow was coming down hard now, but she couldn’t feel it on her cheeks, her face frozen. She was thirsty and tried to scoop some up to put in her mouth, but her hands no longer seemed to work and her arms would not move. Rest. She needed to rest. Just for a moment. Durant lay back and closed her eyes, and the snow began to cover her, a blanket too cold to help, but there was no energy left to fight the fatigue. The last thing she was aware of was an approaching sound, something she had heard before in the night—the howling ...

It was there, a fortune waiting for him to claim it. If he could stay alive. Sheriff Dave Trask studies the horribly disfigured body on the rocky shore of Lake Superior.

As events unfold, Trask begins to believe that the man may have been the victim of a hit and run on the lake, the possibility of finding the boat that killed the man slim to none. Then Trask discovers something more. The man belonged to an eccentric group, women and men who gather monthly to discuss ...

Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension agent Don Trask is jerked from a blissful fall weekend with his girlfriend, Lieutenant Melanie Jenkins of the Stillwater Police, when Jenkins’s sister is brutally attacked.

There was something heavy in the bag. SOMETHING DEAD. There was no escaping the heat and humidity. Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Agent Danny Carlisle sat in her car, the air conditioner running. It was not the Florida-like weather on this Minnesota morning that was keeping her in her car. It was not the piles of garbage that lined the streets, remnants of a just-ended strike, although the odor that hung in the air was part of it. What made Danny hesitate was a specific bag of garbage to her right, inside a tent, the contents of which was about to ruin her day. But what Danny ...

Very good story again kept me in suspense!
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I get it. It's AI. Total crap. I mean who says things like route one hundred and twenty one. In stead of one two one or one twenty one. Things like that remind me a computer is reading it and then all I think about is AI.
JEEZ. PEOPLE NEED JOBS. LET PEOPLE NARRATE. so annoying. Seems like all the new material included with audible is AI. Such garbage.
Love the twisty mystery
