About this listen

Chief Jim Hopper reveals long-awaited secrets to Eleven about his old life as a police detective in New York City, confronting his past before the events of the hit show Stranger Things.

Christmas, Hawkins, 1984. All Chief Jim Hopper wants is to enjoy a quiet first Christmas with Eleven, but his adopted daughter has other plans. Over Hopper’s protests, she pulls a cardboard box marked “New York” out of the basement - and the tough questions begin. Why did Hopper leave Hawkins all those years ago? What does “Vietnam” mean? And why has he never talked about New York?

Although he’d rather face a horde of demogorgons than talk about his own past, Hopper knows that he can’t deny the truth any longer. And so begins the story of the incident in New York - the last big case before everything changed....

Summer, New York City, 1977. Hopper is starting over after returning home from Vietnam. A young daughter, a caring wife, and a new beat as an NYPD detective make it easy to slip back into life as a civilian. But after shadowy federal agents suddenly show up and seize the files about a series of brutal, unsolved murders, Hopper takes matters into his own hands, risking everything to discover the truth.

Soon, Hopper is undercover among New York’s notorious street gangs. But just as he’s about to crack the case, a blackout rolls across the boroughs, plunging Hopper into a darkness deeper than any he’s faced before.

Had a rough ending with the antagonist but the narrator did well with making it feel like it was Hopper. It could be Canon to the show itself and overall, a great read.

Great Story, Can Be Canon!

I have so far enjoyed the Stranger Things books. I enjoy the stories expanding that world for me. This particular narrator really brought the different characters to life.

Great narrator!

This isn't a bad story, but it is the same American noir cop story that has been told time again and again in films and other books. It is kinda boring.

Another cop story cliché.

I liked the story well enough but was extremely put off by the narrator and his impressions of female characters. Having said that, I ended up listening to it a 2x speed just to get through it.

A 70s crime romp back to NYC. Interesting, entertaining, slow in places but picks up, a fun read and an adventure into the past with Jim Hopper & his family.

A hop to Hopper’s past
