Publisher's summary

Gibson Vaughn, hero of the bestselling novel The Short Drop, returns in a smoldering thriller.

When jailed billionaire Charles Merrick hints publicly that he has stashed a fortune in an offshore cache, a school of sharks converges upon his release from federal prison.

Among his swindled victims is Judge Hammond Birk, the man who saved Gibson Vaughn's life when he was a troubled teenager. Now Gibson intends to repay that debt by recovering Merrick's victims' money.

But Gibson isn't the only one on the trail of the hidden fortune.

The promise of billions has drawn a horde of ruthless treasure hunters, including an edgy ex-con, a female bartender with a mysterious history, a Chinese spy with a passion for fly-fishing, and a veritable army of hardened mercenaries. To stay ahead of the sharks and win justice for his mentor, Gibson will need all his formidable skills. But at the end of the road, he'll still have to face "Poisonfeather" - a geopolitical secret that just might get Gibson killed...or worse.

Cliffhanger

Shortstop was such a good book and I was so looking forward to the next book by Mr FitzSimmons. Poisonfeather was a disappointment. The plot wasn't as strong as Shortstop and I wasn't as invested in the characters. Worse, it ended in a cliffhanger. I wouldn't have bought the book and audio had I known that. Life is full of twists and turns, and I am at the point where I need a beginning, middle and end when I invest my time and money in a book. I may not be in a position to read the follow-up, and don't want the unresolved issues hanging in the back of my mind. Frankly, I consider authors who use cliffhangers to force their audience to buy another book/books to be ethically challenged. Poisonfeather is not a long book. There is no reason Mr. FitzSimmons couldn't have a satisfying ending.

Mr Cronin did an excellent job with the narration.

While I have it a point to recommend Shortstop to family and friends, I won't do the same with Poisonfeather.

Good Read

This was a good read and even better narrator, James Patrick Cronin!! To summarize my review.. I looked forward to getting back to this read and always hated to stop when I had to. But I truly hope the sequel is good enough to make up for the ending of this book. Boooo! 👎 Matt
Fitzsimmons, I have come to enjoy your books.. And I thought you could have given us a better ending.. But I will not judge until I read the next in series! Thank you!! 👍

Poison Feather

You know why I gave Poison Feather 5 stars because I listened to the entire novel in less than 24_hours give or take 4_1/2 hours sleep time a couple of meals and coffee.

Tear my heart out

This novel was very well written, with a number of storylines, and lots of humanity.

I enjoyed the narration and the pacing.

I won't say why it tore my heart out. You'll just have to find out.

It's well worth it.

Will try again

I've decided to give this book another try later.
I just couldn't get into it. My fault? Not certain. I'll try it again when I have more time.

Deduct 1 star for cliffhanger

I really like this series. But I hate a novel with a cliffhanger. Cliffhangers are fine for weekly TV episodes but not for novels.

Excellent Series!

Matthew FitzSimmons did an excellent job with this series. Gibson Vaughn is such an intriguing character. His life is one chaotic adventure after another in this spellbinding story. You won't want to miss it.

A good story with twisted plot...

Storyline kept you intrigued, wanting to hear the next twist. Characters well developed and colorful. Adding a little romance between Gibson and Leah would have been good and a natural fit.
