About this listen

Boston PI Spenser and right hand Hawk follow a con man's trail of smoke and mirrors in the latest entry of the iconic crime series. After conning everyone from the cable news shows to the local cops, it looks like the grifter's latest double cross may be his last.

Connie Kelly thought she'd found her perfect man on an online dating site. He was silver-haired and handsome, with a mysterious background working for the CIA. She fell so hard for M. Brooks Welles that she wrote him a check for almost 300,000 dollars, hoping for a big return on her investment.

But within weeks, both Welles and her money are gone. Her therapist, Dr. Susan Silverman, hands her Spenser's card.

A self-proclaimed military hotshot, Welles had been a frequent guest on national news shows speaking with authority about politics and world events. But when he disappears, he leaves not only a jilted lover but a growing list of angry investors, duped cops, and a team of paramilitary contractors looking for revenge.

Enter Spenser, who quickly discovers that everything about Welles is phony. His name, his résumé, and his client list are nothing but an elaborate fraud. But uncovering the truth won't be easy, as he'll have to keep the mystery man alive long enough to get back his client's money. As the trail winds from Boston to backroads Georgia, Spenser will need help from trusted allies Hawk and Teddy Sapp to make sure Welles's next con is his last.

Critic reviews

“Atkins, a longtime Spenser fan, understands the character and what makes him tick. He knows Spenser’s world and the people who inhabit it. He writes with the same spare style as Parker and peppers the narrative with the same wry wit.” (Fort Worth Star Telegram)

“A taut, suspenseful story line drives Edgar-finalist Atkins’s sixth Spenser novel...which deepens the relationship between the Boston PI and his significant other, therapist Susan Silverman.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Atkins really hit his stride as steward for Parker’s characters.” (Booklist)

Great Storyline • Entertaining Story • Excellent Narration • Slight Variation • Ups And Downs • Skilled Performer

Mantegna might just be my favorite Spencer narrator of them all. You know what you expect in any Spencer book and this one doesn't disappoint.

Typical Spenser = Good listen!

Ace Atkins is doing a fine job with the Spenser series. I'm enjoying the tweaks that are bringing the characters into the twenty-first century, I'm glad Quirk has gone emeritus and Spencer is just a little younger. Thanks, Ace. Much appreciated.

JoeMontegna's storytelling always makes it a better story. This is just barely a long enough read. I usually listen at night, or on a long drive, and I don't mind replaying the parts I missed sleeping. Some shorter books are frustrating regardless of the story because they don't last long enough. This story was just right.

It’s amazing that Ace has picked up where Robert left off. I realize that they worked together for awhile but now that Ace is creating alone I see no difference!
Excellent storyline & characters as usual.

Another Great Listen!
