Publisher's summary

A tangled Trask Brothers thriller you will want to read in one sitting.

He knew. There was only a scrap of red material, but he knew.

Don Trask, Lead Agent for the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, had no doubt what it was. For five years he had locked away the haunting memories associated with his most difficult case, the unsolved disappearance of a small girl. But now those memories had burst from their vault, and the nightmares that came with them were back.

And then there was another, a young boy, and Trask knew who had done it. The same man who had taken the girl. The same man who still lived in the area of the kidnappings. The same man Trask had hounded and harassed five years before, never able to prove the man's guilt. Trask had nearly lost his job and his sanity in his fanatical pursuit then. There would be no stopping him now.

He will see that justice is served on Purgatory Creek.

Readers of John Sanford, Michael Connelly, Jeffrey Deaver, Lee Child and like authors will enjoy this fast-paced thriller.

Vutual Voice

I have listened to a few other books read by virtual Voice & enjoyed them; pleasantly surprized at the clarity & pleasantries of the voice. This particular story was different & did not hold true. There were many places in the story that needed inflections to demonstrate character emotions. Visual voice was not able to bring Forth the character emotion to give the reader a full picture of the story & it's characters.

Twisty plot

The AI narration is really weird! Luckily the book was good enough to keep going. Would have stopped specifically because of the AI voice. But keep listening!!! The book was great!

Twists and Turns

The twists and turns in the plot were great. I knew it wasn't the people they named as suspects but I didn't suspect the substitute teacher.

No no no

This story was too convoluted. There were 4 different crimes happening at the same time. In the same neighborhood. Way too much and the epilogue tried to tie everything up but it was too much. The AI narrator was hard to follow. The story was hard to listen to because it was hard to tell who was who and which storyline it was following.
